    totally agree that Gailigongshan and west is better, but I've never been to Xishuangbanna and red all the Thai stuff for my China list. Cheers Mike

    Another vote for resurrection - I've missed your updates from allover China - and also whetted my appetite for Xishuanbanna as probably the bets site to take my China list over thr 1,000 mark Cheers Mike

    Your terrapins look like Red-eared Sliders - an alien species from the Mississippi Basin and spread globally through the pet trade. I have them on my patch too. Cheers Mike

    Great to have you back in the game Shi Jin and what a great way to start . . . terrific pic of Temminck's Tragopan in the snow, plus the mega rare Jankowski's Bunting and a Hebei Orange-headed Thrush - wonderful stuff! 1,000 in China - bring it on! Cheers Mike

    Congratulations Shi Jin! Thanks for a terrific thread. 365 in less than 6 months is a huge achievement. Anyone who's been following the thread feel like returning the favour by adding to the list so that Shi Jin can enjoy a little vicarious birding and be tempted o kep on shooting without...

    Even though I've just started digiscoping, I made the decision to put birding ahead of photography back in the mid '80s and have not regretted it. Its been a tremendous pleasure to see some great birds from all over China, but I'm definitely a believer in doing the birding you want to do...

    What a stunner the Mugi is - fantastic! That was my first comment on seeing just the last posting - and then I realised that there were masses more pix - an absolutely stupendous day! I also liked the view of the Radde's Wabler from underneath - not a usual view - certainly here in HK, and the...

    Wow what a cracker! I've only ever seen two this good and they stayed etched in the brain in pin sharp monochrome ever since. Cheers Mike

    You may be surprised about what is crowd-pleasing Shi Jin. I had a visitor to HK who was an experienced tour guide who's just come back from a trip to Australia tell me that the most surreal bird of the trip was one of our greyscale Great Tits! Post 'em all, I say! Cheers Mike

    Hi Shi Jin Is "Temple Mountain" Miao Feng Shan? I had some good birding here on a couple of visits in 1990/91 with the highlights being Alpine Accentor (on the top), Pallas' Rosefinch, Yellow-bellied Tit and Goshawk. I'm interested to see your Common Gull alongside the Kamchatka - we get both...

    I lost track of this terrific thread for a few days - knocks spots off my Summer Palace birding in 1990/91 when studying in Beijing, but I did have a flock of 800 Daurian Jackdaws overhead on one day, and as for the swans, and especially the Mute Swans - MEGA!! Great stuff! Cheers Mike

    Great Stuff! Very much looking forward to hearing how you get on farther west, but definitely impressed with the wren babbler, the Rufous-throated and Mountain Bamboo Partridges Partridge the barwing and Mrs Hume's Pheasant (although I've had crippling views of a pair on the road at...

    Looks like you have a nice photo of a Common Rosefinch, but don't mention it in your list. Is this one more? I've linked your site to the HKBWS website - we have some gull nuts who will have better insight than me on your gulls. However it is interesting to see a summer plumage Kamchatka...
