Po Toi 5 Apr 2019 - Wood Warbler

We were finally free to twitch the Wood Warbler which was firstly found on Tue. We were quite lucky, the warbler was showing pretty well when we got to the spot.

50% of the day was spent for the warbler, for other migrants, we saw Ferruginous, Asian Brown and Blue-and-white Flycatcher, female Black-naped Monarch, Ashy Minivet, Red-rumped Swallow and the only bunting seen today - a Japanese Yellow Bunting.

Not a bad day indeed.
