Ho Man Tin and Long Valley 12 Oct 2019 - banana day

Really boring for the holiday weekend, visited Ho Man Tin first but lifeless, best bird was Mountain Tailorbird, quite an early migrant in this hot autumn.

We changed to Long Valley after an hour, also nothing, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Taiga Flycatcher and Yellow-breasted Bunting were the highlights. And we had fun with a male Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker.
