| Remarks : | Nanling National Nature Reserve in North Guangdong is probably the best place to see this little-known South China breeding endemic, which was formerly lumped with Maroon Oriole. The best time to search for it is in late April and early May, when the males are displaying to establish their territories. - MK |
