Didn't see the Mugimaki today, but this Asian Brown Flycatcher came along yesterday & today...

And a Tree Sparrow from several days ago...

Female Magpie Robin in early morning light....

Female Mugimaki Flycatcher arrived today. Still waiting for the male to return since his first appearance 2 days ago....

And again from this afternoon....

Great to see you back in action again - some fantastic shots, especially the Mugimaki, which is a very uncommon visitor to these parts. You have shamed me into trying to get something too, so here is another flycatcher. I would like to think it is a dark-sided flycatcher, and if so it would be a first for photos on Lamma, I think. It might just be a grey-streaked, though.

Hi Zep.... not sure... I guess we'll leave it to the experts in HKBWS.
Even if the bird doesn't turn out to be your much-prized Dark-sided.... think you should be well pleased with the perch........ definitely not very common.

The Asian Brown Flycatcher again in different light.... she visits several times each day to bathe & drink....

Japanese White-eyes

Red-whiskered Bulbul

Sooty (Dark-sided / Siberian) Flycatcher....

Mugimaki Flycatcher again....

Tree Sparrow....

Hi Zep..... congrats on your Sooty (Dark-sided / Siberian) Flycatcher.... yours was still a first as I did not get mine until early afternoon today

Yes, the HKBWS's Fai Ho Cheung identified it - not the same individual as your bird, I presume, as mine was in the garden in Tai Peng. This is Muscicapa sibirica. It is a bit confusing, as there is another totally unrelated African species which goes by the name of sooty flycatcher. I guess dark-sided or Siberian would be a better name.

So, trebles all round...

hmmmm .... Paul ID'd mine for me as a Sooty, then checking in the HK Bird Book calls it the Sooty (Dark-sided / Siberian) Flycatcher Muscicapa sibirica (sibirica)

I'm happy with either...... congrats again.
Means today I had the Mugimaki (female), the Asian Brown, and the Dark-sided, and last week the Mugimaki (male) visit my garden.... guess it's getting on the Flycatcher map

Chinese Bulbul ........

Male Daurian Redstart came to the pond today... unfortunately no photo.... Neil got some really good ones though.... will ask him if I can post if I don't get a photo within the next few days

Another image of the Asian Brown Flycatcher..... although is beginning to make me wonder about my previous image of the bird.... the shape of the bill & the bill colouring is different.....
