Oh excellent Jocko - they weren't there on Saturday (spent 2 hours there) which was very quiet, so maybe this fine weather is bringing in more birds.

Visited Yangshan Dao this morning. Actually it was very quiet but two pretty good birds were present. Both on the upper end of the "magic garbage station valley".

Rufous-faced warbler, 2
Brown-eared bulbul, 1 (China tick for me!)

Great find Jocko!! Migrating Bulbuls and the Rufous-faced warblers are a great news for the spring.
 
Seems we have a Brown-breasted Flycatcher (Muscicapa muttui) in Shanghai...

'Thank' the 'togs who told us the 'spectacled warbler' was 'still there'..posing on the branches they had helpfully ripped off living trees and placed in photogenic positions as usual...pic later of the idiot brigade loading a baited twig for a Narcissus Flycatcher to pose on at the Black Magic Carpark...'the bigger the lens, the bigger the idiot' seems to be a new rule of physics in Chinese bird photography circles...

Pictures added: Idiot brigade and newly 'gardened' branches at flycatcher site...

It's a recount.
The Lianyungang friend counted 3000 in the field and later recounted one by one in his photos on computer.
But the first time we visited there,we already noticed the reclamation plan was to finish it in May 2013.
 
Yesterday in Rudong there were still quite a lot of BBReed Warbler,with MReed,Middendorf's and Styan's.
most Dunlin have left.4 NGreenshank still present.
