Hi all,
a late morning / lunchtime visit today (21st September) produced some excellent birds around the toilet area, Lenin Park.
1 Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher: This bird took some efforts to be identified correctly. Luckily, after a call Simon came over and we followed the bird together for about 30 - 40 minutes after we concluded it must be BCJF. It had no obviously hooked bill (only very slightly) but pretty much all of the other features looked good for this species - including behaviour!
Other birds of note were:
- 1 female-type Siberian Blue Robin
- 1 female Mugimaki Flycatcher
- 1 female Yellow-rumped Flycatcher
+ couple of Asian Brown Flycatchers, Arctic Warblers and Brown Shrikes.
No sign of yesterday's Phylloscopus armada.
Cheers,
Simon, Falk
