AJP spotted this Fork-tailed Sunbird (Aethopyga christinae) displaying to females and seeing off other males at Tai Po Kau last week.
It is difficult to believe that this common and widespread bird in Hong Kong was once uncommon. It was only first recorded in 1959, again at Tai Po Kau, which for years remained its stronghold. We were amazed when returning to Hong Kong on 1997 for the first time in 29 years to find a pair nesting outside our window at Robert Black College in the university compound.
