A high tide again on 20 Sep.We drove there,had lunch,prepared to go down to the mudflat in the afternoon.But the
weather was becoming worse and worse,then heavy rain and thunderstorm came!Nothing to do in the restaurant,we
decided to stay in the car on the seawall.A lightning hit the mudflat.Wow!Beautiful!
We talked about jokingly how it felt to be hit by it when birding there.Then it went better.Rain stopped.We dressed
up and be ready to go.Just at this momoent,an ambulance rushed into us.A tractor came back from the mudflat,taking
many fishermen,including one lying there,moaning.A terrible hurt came down his breast!He was hit by the lightning!
Lucky that he was still alive!
So we retreated to the woodlands nearby,waiting for the sky's being clearer. It seemed not many birds,which gave us
a good chance to look at everyone carefully.A White-eye-like warbler attracted us.It was not like any common warbler
we often saw here.After some discussion,we believed it to be a vagrant Wood or Willow Warbler.

Thanks to all who helped us to confirm it as a Wood Warbler!Probably the second or third record in China,and the
first in East China.
