China Bird Report (1 Viewer)

[Shi Jin]

I guess that some visitors to this forum may not know about a wonderful website that is maintained by hundreds of active birders throughout China (the reports on this website form the basis of the bilingual annual report that is available in book form).

It's called the China Bird Report, and is searchable by species, by location, by date, and by observer (and any combination of these).

It's kept bang up date by its members. Four instance, 4 reports have already been posted for yesterday (9th April): 2 from Zhejiang, 1 from Guangdong and 1 from Beijing.

In total, more than twenty-four thousand reports have been posted.

What's more, it has Chinese and English versions (for location and species).

The site is here:

Enjoy!

It really is a good site. We have developed the habit of uploading our birding report everytime we finish a birding trip, and check for the bird list as preparation work.

Actually foreign birders live in China also contribute a lot to this database. for example, Brian Ivon Jones, whose Chinese name is Jiang Baorui, is a keen foreign birder in Beijing. He has contributed a lot to this website. http://birdtalker.net/birdtalker.net/report.asp

China Bird Report - correct web address

This is the one that works for me:

http://www.chinabirdnet.org/report.html

The 'birdtalker' site seems unobtainable directly- perhaps due to my security settings (?). I find I'm able to access it via the above.

Hope this helps.

Regards, John.

By the way this is another Chinese resource - for pictures of birds. I used this before finding the Oriental Birding Club website. The OBC is easier to navigate, but this one is just China, if you want to focus on Chinese species and subspecies.
