Rare and irregular visitor to Hong Kong, breeds SE Siberia and NE China, Globally threatened species listed as Endangered, estimated world population of c3000. I was lucky to photograph the only one bird came to winter in Hong Kong in 2012 and still here.

Great captures.
I was wondering why would it migrate alone, so I copy-pasted 'Oriental Stock' in google, looked at the results and 'what the..!' (sorry for nitpicking :)).
Looks like it is a solitary bird except during breeding season, make sense.
Love number 1.
