Birds around Hong Kong
Hong Kong
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Hong Kong (20° to 25° latitude, 110° to 115° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
Arrived in the last four weeks
- Fork-tailed Sunbird around 12 October

Expected in the next six weeks
No arrivals expected here in the next six weeks, going by last year.
