It was suggested that I share a few local sightings from Dalian, China here.
Today I was out and about for some birding and noted that the egrets have returned to the area. Chinese Egret is fairly common here (at least it was last year). I saw my first one of the season today and you can see a picture of it here:
Also nearby were Reed Bunting, Black-faced Bunting, Garganey, Mallard, Pintail, Common Teal, Spot-billed Duck, Both Godwits, Grey Plover, Eurasian and Eastern Curlew, Grey Heron, Great Egret, Little Egret, Little Ringed Plover, Black-winged Stilt, Common Greenshank, Common Sandpiper, Common Kingfisher, Black-tailed, Vega, Black-headed Gulls, Common Hoopoe, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Olive-backed Pipit, Oriental Greenfinch, Brambling, Dusky+Naumann's Thrush, and the odd Eurasian Kestrel.
