The two-year format has been in place since the 1999-2000 report, but during this time the aim always has been to catch up with publication and return to an annual format, and I am very pleased that we have achieved this with the 2011 report. This would not have been possible without the hard work of Geoff Welch over the last couple of years to make sure records are collected, to write the text for the Systematic Lists, and to ensure that all articles contained in the report are completed and submitted on time. I also cannot forget the work of Gary Chow and a team of translators for providing the Chinese text, or the HKBWS office for their help in the formatting of the report and liaising with the designer and printer. The annual format allows us more space to look at new ways to present some of the data. This year we have included seasonal occurrence charts in the Systematic List for a number of species. This is the first time these have appeared in a Hong Kong Bird Report, but similar charts were presented in The Avifauna of Hong Kong. Species selected for inclusion in the 2011 report are mostly species for which the pattern of occurrence has changed significantly since the time of The Avifauna, especially those for which 2011 was an important year. I hope that similar charts for other species will be included in future editions of the report. I also hope that the annual format will encourage more articles from observers and readers. With the growth in bird watching and photography over the last few years, I am sure there must be many significant observations from a variety of sources which would be of interest to our readers. With more space in the report, and with the report scheduled to be published on an annual basis, it should be possible for more articles to get published in a shorter space of time. Articles could be about any aspect of the birds of Hong Kong; this could include status, identification, habitat or food preferences, behaviour or another subject. Articles could be short or long, according to the subject involved. Any observers with significant observations are welcome to submit articles and/or photographs to be considered for inclusion in the report.

  • 1 SOUTH KOREA 22 October – 3 November, 2018
    SOUTH KOREA 22 October – 3 November, 2018 Sandy Darling, Jeni Darling, Tom Thomas Most tours to South Korea occur in May for the spring migration or in late fall or winter for northern birds that winter in South Korea. This trip was timed in late October and early November to try see both summer residents and winter arrivals, and was successful in doing so. Birds were much shyer than in North America and often were visible only briefly, so that, for example, we saw few thrushes although they could be heard. This report has been written by Sandy and includes photos from both Tom (TT) and Sandy (SD). Sandy saw 166 species adequately of which 57 were life birds. When one includes birds heard, seen by the leader or others, or not seen well enough to count (BVD), the total was about 184. From trip reports it was clear that the person to lead the tour was Dr Nial Moores, Director of Birds Korea, an NGO working to improve the environment, especially for birds, in Korea. Nial has twenty years of experience in Korea, knows where birds are, and has ears and eyes that are exceptional. He planned the trip, made all the arrangements, found birds that we would not have found on our own and was our interface with Koreans, few of whom speak English. Nial also had to rejig the itinerary when strong winds led to the cancellation of a ferry to Baekryeong Island. We drove the vehicles - confidence was needed in dealing with city traffic, which was as aggressive as other trip reports said! Some of the highlights of the trip were: About 40,000 massed shore birds on Yubu Island, including the rare Spoonbill Sandpiper, a life bird for Tom.

  • NE INDIA 2018 by Starling Reizen
    North-east India: a report on the birds seen during a trip to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh from 31 March till 15 April 2018 Blue-naped Pitta at Koklabari Agriculture Farm, photographed by Pablo Vercruysse © 2018 Leader: David Van den Schoor Participants: Rudy Lenaerts, Pablo Vercruysse, Herwig Blockx and Paul De Cnodder INTRODUCTION After an exploration trip last year, this was Starling's first tour to Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, which, though discovered only recently, has proved very popular among the more adventurous of the birding community. Combined with nearby areas in western Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, in India’s remote northeast corner, it offers a fantastic range of special birds. Despite some windy and wet weather on occasions, we had fair weather for most of our trip, enabling us to enjoy the birding. Altogether, we recorded a total of 450 species, during our 14 days but as always, it is quality, not quantity that impressed us most. Birding highlights of this wonderful tour included a male Blyth’s Tragopan, which we saw quite well, Himalayan Monals, tame and noisy Snow Partridges, displaying Bengal Floricans, walk away views on a fantastic male Blue-naped Pitta, several amazing Ward’s Trogons, excellent views on both males and females Rufous-necked Hornbills, close-up views on many grassland specialities like Indian and Bristled Grassbirds, Black-breasted Parrotbills, Jerdon’s Babbler and Finn’s Weavers. Five of the rare White-winged Duck at Nameri, great views of Spotted Elachuras, Long-billed and Bar-winged Wren- babblers, male and female Fire-tailed Mysornis and a large gathering of Greater Adjutants at their home dump.

Rows shaded thus and with white text contain additional explanatory information on problem taxon groups as and when necessary. A broad dark orange line, as below, indicates the last taxon in a new or suggested species split, or where sspp are best considered separately.

  • Eastern China
    The magnificent Reeves's Pheasant was one of the many specialties seen on this tour (Brendan Ryan). EASTERN CHINA 3 – 27 MAY 2017 LEADER: HANNU JÄNNES Birdquest’s Eastern China tour, an epic 25 day journey across much of eastern China, focusses on an array of rare Chinese endemics and migrants, and this year’s tour once again proved a great success. The focus of the first part of the tour is to achieve good views of rarities like Spoon-billed Sandpiper, the critically endangered Blue-crowned (Courtois’s) Laughingthrush, the superb Cabot’s Tragopan and Elliot’s Pheasant and the ultra-rare Chinese Crested Tern. This was successfully achieved alongside a plethora of other much sought after species including White-faced Plover, Great Knot, stunning Saunders’s Gulls, Reed Parrotbill, eastern migrants, including Pechora Pipit, Japanese Robin, Japanese Paradise, Yellow-rumped, Narcissus and Mugimaki Flycatchers, and forest species like Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, White-necklaced Partridge, Silver Pheasant, Buffy and Moustached Laughingthrushes, Short-tailed Parrotbill, Fork-tailed Sunbird and the delightful Pied Falconet. Quite a haul! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Eastern China 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com Crested Ibis at Dongzhai Nature Reserve (Brendan Ryan). The second part of the tour, the ‘Northeast Extension’, visited a series of sites for various other Chinese specialities. Beginning in Wuhan, we bagged the amazing Reeves’s Pheasant and Crested Ibis, as well as stunners that included Fairy Pitta and Chestnut-winged Cuckoo. We then moved on to Jiaocheng for the fabulous Brown Eared Pheasants before flying on to Beijing, where the mountains of the nearby Hebei province yielded the endemic Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch, Chinese Nuthatch, Green-backed and Zappey’s Flycatchers and the rare Grey-sided Thrush.
