Pallas's Leaf Warbler. You can see the yellow rump in the photo above
Manchurian Bush-warbler
This skulker is a photographer's nightmare. What makes life really frustrating is that it is a rather common winter visitor but it impossible to get a clean view (leave alone a clean shot). First, I heard its distinctive rattling call (trrrt... trrrt). I followed it - it was on the ground, invisible - and suddenly it emerged for a few seconds, before disappearing for good.I am rather satisfied by those photos, I know such occasions don't happen everyday !
The same female Cyornis flycatcher than yesterday. Do you confirm the ID : Chinese Blue or not ?
She found a boyfriend during the night. The handsome guy below was not here yesterday, and they were flying almost `wing in wing` this morning :)
Do you know some key features that can be used to separate males Hill Blue and Chinese Blue ? (I have `The Robson` edition... 2005)
