    Excellent pics of the sand plovers. I love the blur of the sand in the foreground on them. The last one is my favourite! Very sharp images of a great species. Ditto for the Great Knot. Now looking for a few Asian Dowitcher pics!........ ;)

    Very sharp images! I may need some lessons this summer back in Canada. Looking forward to some shorebird pics... I like the warbler shot and the goldcrest shot especially. Both seem 'ready to move'.

    Several good sightings. I would love to see a Great Knot again. Is that Bean Goose an unusual sighting? I don't remember seeing any in Jinshitan. Which sea-farming ponds do you refer to lately, the ones by the new bridge? Dave Beeke British Columbia

    Tom, Your second photo shows an American x Erasian Wigeon hybrid adult with the green wash to the head. Interesting bird for your area. Maybe a full American Wigeon is next? Nice photos, Dave Beeke. Chilliwack, British Columbia

    Wow. Awesome pics of Chestnut Bunting, Siberian Thrush, Siberian Rubythroat, all birds that are not common in Jinshitan... Interesting to hear the changes from year to year! Some of those pictures are incredibly sharp, like the Blue Robin You will need to jump back to Jinzhou after the rains...

    Nice list. White-breasted Waterhen is moving north as well? I didn't know. Awesome picture of the Mugimaki Flycatcher. That sure is a sharp bird! Dave
