A swift 40 minutes before work this morning brought a nice collection of winter birds:
Common Buzzard was up pretty early at 0640 and again this evening when I came home early, and the grassland around my place had both Little and Black-faced Buntings, a Manchurian Bush Warbler, a couple of Grey-backed Thrushes and half a dozen Silky Starlings. I could also hear a Red-throated Flycatcher buzzing in the lychee orchard before I got out of bed.
The Common Kingfisher is still around - I saw it yesterday ziping down the stream on the way to the bus stop, and a fan of short white splashes mark its favorite fishing perch.
Cheers
Mike
