Emberiza aureola - Yellow-breasted Bunting
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
According to my 1974 edition of "Hong Kong birds" by Geoffrey Herklots, this species is "extremely abundant on migration in China"....and ...... "several flocks were seen at Ping Shan on 22 Oct. 1931"... Well, on 21 Oct 2009 they were pretty abundant in the rice paddies at Long Valley, near Sheung ShuiHerklots again, quoting Lt. R.E. Vaughan and Staff Surgeon K.H.Jones from the January 1913
