Quick pre-work walk around the botanical gardens today produced males of Orange-headed Thrush and Hill Blue Fly, as well as a single Taiga Fly. There were plenty of phylloscs, Y-brows, Greenish and Arctic at least.
Also, one large tree held about 10 Black-naped Orioles, 10 Spangled Drongos and at least 30 Ashy Drongos (of races salangensis and one of the other races that look superficially like Black Drongo at lest least). Realising that this tree was visible from my flat I rushed home and with use of the 'scope added these three species to the house list. A very satisfying morning!
