In May 2014, a Jerdon’s Baza Aviceda jerdoni was encountered and photographed during a bird survey in Ehuangzhang, Yangjiang, Guangdong Province (Fig. 1). By reviewing literatures, we confirm that this is the first record of the species in Guangdong Province. In the following years, the species was successively recorded in other areas in Guangdong Province, such as Maoming, Zhanjiang and Shaoguan (Fig. 2, Table 1). Based on the seasonal distributions of these records, we assume that Jerdon’s Baza is a rare resident bird restricted in western and northern montane areas in Guangdong Province.
