Père David’s Laughingthrush (Plain Laughingthrush) Garrulax davidi LT—common resident in the mountains. H, COE—no records.
1986: two were at GS on 12 October and one was at Se on 19th and 20 November.
1987: one seen, 5 October.
Hwamei Garrulax canorus LT, H, COE—no records. Ch—resident in central and southern China.
1987: one on 27 October, and probably a second bird seen on 14th, 22nd, 23rd and 25 November. Almost certainly escapees from captivity.
Bearded Reedling (Bearded Tit) Panurus biarmicus LT, H, COE—no records. Ch—Hebei in winter.
1987: two on 15 October.
Vinous-throated Parrotbill Paradoxornis webbianus LT—common in mountains. WH—’Common resident in mountains coming to plains at the foot of hills in winter.’ H, COE—no records.
1986: ten were at Re on 19th and 30 October, and 11 were seen at the same locality on 13 November. The records may all refer to the same flock, which could be surprisingly elusive.
1987: 414 bird-days, 24 September to 24 November; total perhaps results from two flocks being seen several times; highest day total 28 on 2 October.
1988 (Ho): a flock of 25 birds was seen at Re on eight dates from 25 September to 18 November.
1989: 574 bird-days, 8 October to 10 November; up to 20 at Re before 24 October, when 40 were present; 16 at Re, 25 at LP and one at Study Gully the following day; on 28 October, 40 at LP and 35 at Re; the highest day total was 105 (35 at Re, 20 at LP, 30 at LH and 25 at EG) on 1 November, after which day totals did not exceed 35.
1990: before 23 October, four bird-days. From 23 October, 15 were at Re on 31 October and seven at ER on 4 November.
The records suggest a local population increase, maybe as a result of lower mortality during recent mild winters.
Stub-tailed Bush-Warbler Cettia squameiceps LT, H—no records. WH—taken once (in Hebei) by Hubbard, also secured by Weigold. COE—singles over 15-16 April and on 5 May.
1986: no records.
1987: 62 bird-days, 27 September to 6 November; 54 bird-days over 8-14 October, highest day totals 31 on 8th, ten on 9th and four on 10th and 13 October; the last records were of an injured bird seen on three dates from 28 October to 6 November.
1988, 1989, 1990: no records.
Manchurian Bush-Warbler Cettia canturians LT, H—no records. COE—one, 21 April. Ch—breeds in northeastern provinces and winters in south China, but not given as occurring in Hebei.
1986: singles were recorded at Re on 24th, YH on 25th and Re on 27 October and at GS over 7-8 October. Three or four birds were involved.
