After trying the Yingkou Wetlands Park, I took the bus back over the bridge to the Dawa County side of the DaLiao River and hiked east to the river bank. Being Sunday the buses stop early, so I didn't have much time. It was the first time I had actually made it to the river upstream of Yingkou however and I will be back.
Just as I arrived a Ring-necked Pheasant crowed loudly from very close range. I clamored through the reeds and up to the top of the embankment and was rewarded with a wide vista of river with tidal mud flats on the opposite side with large numbers of Mongolian Gull, Black-headed Gull and Great Cormorant. The GC were also much more distinctly marked than I have seen before with more white on the faces than I expected. Scanning with the bins showed only many more gulls at too great a distance to ID, so not wanting to miss the bus I started back.
Just as I exited the area a few Yellow-browed Warbler co-operated unusually well with getting their pictures taken.
