Lau Shui Heung 15 Feb 2020 - tickable and untickable Kloss's

A third attempt to this spot and we finally saw the Kloss's Leaf Warbler clearly, in a tickable view. I was also able to take a rubbish crap record shot (But.... untickable too until I take a singing bird in mainland China or Thailand). For other Phylloscopus, we saw Yellow-browed, Pallas's, Two-barred and two Hartert's. A very brief Chestnut-crowned Warbler as well, but not tickable.

Nothing else in this foggy rainy weather, a first winter male Fujian Niltava was seen but I dipped the call, not countable in the BigEar list.

Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S64488640

BigEar2020 is 121.

Kloss's Leaf Warbler - a really poor record shot but shows comapct structure, pale lower mandible, round head with yellow tone, yellow undertail coverts/vent, and two wingbars; white undertail is hard to see and the crown stripe cannot be shown in this photo. Anyway, the best ID feature will be call and DNA. So... ticked and untickable this time.

Fujian Niltava - pale base of bill and brownish wing show this was a first winter bird. High ISO shot.
