Observation details

Found by young birders early morning, the bird was still present late afternoon. Vocal and active, making three flights around the vicinity while calling during the short time I was on site. Brownish edges to the upperparts feathers presumably suggest a 2cy bird. Photographed and sound-recorded. The first documented record for Beijing.
