Tai Po Kau and Long Valley 3 Jan 2020 - White-spectacled and buntings

We went to Tai Po Kau today, for the White-spectacled Warbler. After breaking the curse, it is easier for us to find the birds but still, not easy for photos. In TPK, we also saw Speckled Piculet and heard the Rufous-faced Warbler, nothing more special.

Afternoon, we went to Long Valley for the newly reported Crested Bunting, which was seen successfully, and we saw a Black/Red-headed Bunting but sadly the photos or view could not confirm its identity.

Black/Red-headed Bunting - honestly the plain color tone, small bill, short wing (seems) and plain head fit Red-headed Bunting more but a better photo is needed to confirm its ID
