After a great week in Taiwan the first bird to greet me on Tuesday morning was a Red-billed Blue Magpie - a rare visitor to Ping Long, but as you can see from my signature, the major excitement has been off-patch.

So in summary:
- One China
- Two pittas
- Three systems
- Four days
- Four life ticks
Cheers
Mike
Life in one China-three systems is rich with birds
Glad you enjoy those Red-billed Magpies - I always think we are fortunate to have such a lovely bird locally, and very pleased to discover that they are actually in my neighborhood more than I initially thought.
Great fortune on the pittas!

PS great pics of the crake on the link - interesting to see what the HK bird community is seeing and talking about.
