I'm in Kunming, Yunnan, China, for the next few days, having just finished attending a meeting here. I've been out birdwatching today (at Golden Temple) and heard many more birds than I saw. It's very frustrating to hear a bird clearly, yet have no idea what it is. My field guide (Birds of China by MacKinnon/Phillipps) isn't a lot of help e.g. description of song of Black-breasted Thrush is: 'Sweet mellow song'!
To improve things for the next few days, I'm searching the web to try to find recordings of the birds I may encounter round here, but to no avail. Can anyone help by pointing me to websites which contains recordings of the bird song of Yunnan, Southern China, or South East Asia.
FYI My bird list for today is (I'd appreciate song recordings of those marked with a *):
House Swift
*Black-breasted Thrush
*Chinese Thrush
*Hill Blue Flycatcher
Oriental Magpie Robin
Great Tit
Black-throated Tit
Barn Swallow
Brown-breasted Bulbul
Spectacled Fulvetta
Rusty-capped Fulvetta
*Streaked Barwing
*Black-headed Sibia
*Japanese White-eye
Russet Sparrow
Black-headed Greenfinch
Thanks
