The subspecies that would occur in this part of the world is very likely disturbans, but I have very little information on their plumage. But these birds fit by many aspect the different characteristic of this species. The most noticeable feature being the variable amount of streaks on the underparts, the dark lateral crown stripes that are blackish and more accentuated at the rear and more olive at the forhead, the quite strong legs.<br />These birds looks a bit different from the ssp ogilviegranti I have in Central Guangxi, and are not yellow enough on underparts to be ssp klossi, so that left disturbans, a well found name by Latouche when he first saw these birds:-)<br /><br />Hartert's Leaf Warbler would show a much more regular song pattern, and I'm not sure ssp godsoni is going so far west.<br /><br /><br />Vietnam Bird Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313509134957073334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036587466649666303.post-40316126362025221752013-02-20T22:00:02.553+07:002013-02-20T22:00:02.553+07:00An interesting sighting : Andrew Keaveney, a visit...An interesting sighting : Andrew Keaveney, a visiting birder, had recently a group of 3 Scaly-sided Mergansers twice in 2 weeks in Xuan Lien Nature Reserve, Thanh Hoa Province.<br />I hope that Andrew will post some of his sightings here.<br /><br />His blog (2013 Vietnamese Birding) here : http://thebigtwitchontario.blogspot.com/<br /><br />SebastienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
