367. Speckled Piculet

 

An EBC of a very small woodpecker that is fast and active, and a tough subject that doesn't perch long enough for a few shots. Distributed from the Himalayan region to China, down to Indochina, northern Thailand and Malaysia, and parts of Sumatra. The bird has olive-yellow wings with black-spotted white breast and belly, with a brownish and white head.

371. Pygmy Cupwing

 

Ebird describes it quite aptly : "Essentially a tiny brown tennis ball supported by tiny chopsticks. Dark brown above with densely packed black-and-white scaling on the underside." always skulking in the thick and dark bushes.

375. Red-throated Pipit

 

As you can see, that twit of a photographer continued walking towards the pipit even though he could clearly see me taking photographs. as a result the pipit ran into the bushes and didn't come out again.

I love your EBCs. They break up the sequence of excellent shots.

Looks like Hong Kong was productive. Well done.

Agree, some very interesting birds, and excellent photos. Agree with Fred, the BY would be half as much fun without a few ebcs. Tiny Cupwing is a funny name!

[Kitsafari]

THanks @Galana @michael-ibk I was quite pleased with my EBCs, just shows how perfectly imperfect I am.

381.  Eastern Yellow Wagtail

 

 

 

At the end of the day, my guide Matthew spotted a very yellow wagtail at a far distance. This is of the Macronix or Manchusian race, which is more yellow on its underparts and has a greenish greyish head with no yellow supercilium.
