China Birds (Nick Sismey) 2006 List
29 December 2006 The final outing for 2006 took me first to to Welney in Cambridgeshire, where I was hoping for the two near certainties Welney is famous for, it’s two species of swans, made famous by Peter Scott. It again came up trumps with a large flock, holding both species, feeding in a...- ChinaBirds

25 November 2006 I had not been planning any more trips to China this year, but then a couple of weeks into November, after completing the annual 24 Scalextric race I run on a 233 foot eight lane replica of the Le Mans circuit, which Team USA won again with a new Word Record, my boss told me I...- ChinaBirds

24 September 2006 Slightly later start at 0600 hours from a much better hotel, although still only £7 a night! We covered much of the ground we visited the previous day’s afternoon but didn’t pick up anything new for the year. Then setting off back to the main road we came across a flock of...- ChinaBirds

17 September 2006 Thanks to a pillow filled with rice that was as hard as concrete, despite going to bed at 10pm and having 8 hours sleep when we awoke at 6am I felt worse than I did after a long haul flight. But that is the quaintness of a £1.50 hotel room! We soon set off up the mountain...- ChinaBirds

16 September 2006 The account of today’s birding I doing in my hotel room at the foot of Nan Ling National Forest Park, around 300km north of Guangzhou. It is very basic, yet clean but is only costing each of us £1.50 per night, and we all have our own rooms! The scenery is very reminiscent of...- ChinaBirds

06 August 2006 After not picking up a new bird for the year in over a month a very confiding Yellow Legged Gull sitting on a bouy near the Visitor Center at Attenborough Nature Reserve leaves just seven birds needed in the UK to make my first 200 in a year! 344. Yellow Legged...- ChinaBirds
