Common Tailorbird

paulchow Birds

The Common Tailorbird (長尾縫葉鶯) is a common resident and is widely distributed in Hong Kong. It has a reddish-brown forehead, olive-green upperpart and whitish underpart and a long tail that it “wags” frequently. It has a unique way of building nests by stitching one or two leaves with plant fibres to form a cradle, in which it builds the nest with grass.

Below is a photo of a Common Tailorbird spotted in the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens this morning.
