Migration coming
Xiaoming, I was on those islands last June as part of a WWF Black-faced Spoonbill count. It's an amazing place! Saw Pelagic Cormorant there but I would imagine there is more ocean birds there now in the winter.
Gretchen, Japanese Quail are the little guys that fly up after you nearly step on them in short grass.
Dongbei,what petrel/shearwater did u see in June?I'm thinking of chumming in Lianyungang this summer to see if there're others besides Swinhoe's Stormpetrel and Streaked Shearwater.
Very interesting to know there have been so many BFS in HK.My first record of BFS passing by Shanghai area was on 31 Oct and 1 Nov.
Then one juv was found within a flock of ES in Nanjing on 14 Nov,and I saw two BFS flew by with one ES in Shanghai on 15 Nov.
