2 Brown Shrikes, an Arctic Warbler and 2 Black-naped Terns

Walked southeast Cheung Chau this aft. With fine, hot weather, I didn't expect to find migrants - but saw two Brown Shrikes and heard an Arctic Warbler singing. Also Plaintive Cuckoo singing: seems one is hanging around this spring. At lower Fa Peng Valley, saw a Chinese Starling - another summer visitor that seems to be staying on to breed.

Off Kwun Yam Wan in late afternoon, saw two Black-naped Terns, dipping after shoals of tiny fish that occasionally leapt from the water (chased by larger fish from below?), and resting on a big rock just offshore. This species arrives in late spring, breeds on a few rocky islets in western Hong Kong.
