Pak Sha O 2 Feb 2020 - banana warbler

There was a Kloss's Leaf Warbler reported in Pak Sha O recently, a species we heard in Tai Po Kau before but not yet have a look. Today we only got untickable view of a Phylloscopus, a non-calling suspect. See, we better bird overseas rather than in HK.

Despite of no phone signal, Pak Sha O is still a good spot to bird where we saw Asian Emerald Dove, Speckled Piculet, Radde's Warbler, Japanese Thrush, a male Fujian Niltava, Lesser Shortwing and Tristram's Bunting. A skulking Russet Bush Warbler was also heard.
