Discovered yesterday in a public park, this native of the Philippines is a "First Record" for Hong Kong.
Word spread on social media, but we had gone out to a nice air-conditioned cinema downtown, and hadn't got our binoculars when we heard the news. We went along to Mei Foo anyway and joined a group of birders, frustrated that the bird wasn't showing.
After a couple of hours we dispersed peacefully....
.
Having dipped yesterday afternoon, we were luckier this morning.
A debate about the origins of this bird is ongoing.....watch this space !
