    I would love to have the knowledge you do! Thank you so much! Just out of curiosity, is there a good Asian / Chinese bird book I can buy? I have the Helm Field Guide Birds of East Asia but this Grosbeak isn't even in it - no wonder I am struggling!! 🤪. Or would you suggest online resources...

    With the eagle, I had a feeling it was the Golden Eagle but our guide thought maybe the Steppe Eagle. And with the Fulvetta, another new species for me! Very grateful for your help with the descriptions too - helps with future birding trips too!

    Thanks so much for your help with this! 3. It was the size of plumped up sparrow which is why I wasn't sure it was the Accentor. I will post a different bird seen in the same location - they were very different in size and I put the 2nd one down as the Alpine Accentor - like a thrush size. so...

    I am new to this forum and would love to tap into your experience to help me identify some birds spotted on my recent trip to the stunning area around Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri La and Napahai Lake in Yunnan, China. The birdlife here blew me away to be honest. So much diversity and beauty...
