Tai Lam 8 Dec 2019 - Japanese Robin

Another full day birding and we chose Tai Lam, to try to get some better photos of Japanese Robin which at the end of the day we saw both male and female.

Besides the commons, we also saw two responsive Bay Woodpecker, Great Barbet, Two-barred Warbler, a Verditer Flycatcher, White's Thrush, Tristram's Bunting and the two 'usual' Brown Wood Owl.

And the surprised found is Rufous-faced Warbler, which at least 5 different individuals in a wave!

11 hours in mountain but not a boring day 😝.

My HK Big Year is ending soon and now is 294.
