Top - Chinese Bulbul
Centre - Yellow bellied Tit. A souped up Coal Tit....
Bottom - Forest Wagtail. What a bird. Impossible to photograph as it walked around under dark evergreen trees...Fantastic.
Today was relatively quiet with most of the weeks migrants having cleared off due to the clear skies at night. When I say quiet, I mean Happy Island quiet, not Holy Island quiet...
