Hi all,

a walk around the known areas in Lenin Park today (24th) produced only some good birds.

1 Asian Stubtail (finally!!!)
1 Ashy Minivet
2 Orange-headed Thrushes
1 Seicercus sp.(most likely to be Grey-crowned but not calling)
1 Olive-backed Pipit
1 male Brown Shrike
3 White Wagtails
Tons of Yellow-browed Warblers all over the place.

Cheers,
