Very interested in thoughts on this acrocephalus warbler I found yesterday on my patch at San Tin fishponds in Hong Kong.
Initial thoughts were Blunt-winged Warbler (rare winter visitor), based on the long bill and short primary projection in the back-on shot, and when I explained the dark lateral crown stripe was NOT photo artefact, but also clearly seen in the field Manchurian came into consideration.
Manchurian, Paddyfield, Blunt-winged and Blyth's are all rare winter visitors and Black-browed Reed Warbler is the default acro - and there were several on site.
Cheers
Mike
