The big highlights were from today - White-spectacled Warbler, which I somehow missed last winter, and was a patch tick for me, and a briefly seen male Fukien Niltava. Both birds were seen in Don't Dip Dell, the place about 500m past the temple, where the path turns in sharply to the right, then back to the left and then climbs a steep set of stone stairs. More

lower stairs upwards, White-spectacled Warbler is replaced by “Martens’s Warbler” (Seicercus omeiensis), a recently described species. Martens’s Warbler is virtually the only Seicercus above the stairs and along the ridge, apart from occasional strays (one such stray being a lone Bianchi’s Warbler – presumably on migration – that I taped along the highest bits of the main ridge trail in direct vicinity to Martens’s Warblers; another stray being the afore-mentioned single White-spectacled Warbler above its expected range).
