Mount Davis 20 Mar 2021 - wrong bet

We made the wrong bet so missed the vagrant Ring-billed Gull, a typical HK (and my) situation, a mega rarity only for ONE day (remembering the Great Thick-knee, European Roller etc.) Luckily, the Ring-billed Gull is really a common species so I have no regret.... (too optimistic for traveling after taking Jabs).

So, we went Mount Davis, and only took for the Hume's Warbler.

KFBG 14 Mar 2021 - Black-chinned Yuhina

Finally a lifer after nearly 6 months, not a mega rarity but a species unticked in Fujian - Black-chinned Yuhina. Bird was seen well but again crap photos especially with my noisy D850.

Not many other species in the garden, some Two-barred Warbler, a calling but unseen Chinese Barbet and flocks of Indochinese Yuhina.

Not a bady day in the birdless HK.
