[QUOTE="Larry Sweetland, post: 1075735, member: 27337"] [b]Beijing[/b] Beijing - a city full of [B]Tree Sparrows[/B] and [B]Asian Azure-winged Magpies[/B]. From our base at the delightful and cheap Downtown Backpackers hostel in central Beijing we visited the local Beihai Park, where the highlight was a whopping [B]Chinese Grosbeak[/B]. We also saw 3 [B]Light-vented Bulbuls[/B], a [B]Marsh Tit[/B], and discovered that [B]White-cheeked Starlings [/B]and [B]Great Spotted Woodpeckers [/B](light- and dark-bellied birds) were common in the city. Also some dodgy clip-winged Mandarin Ducks. Yesterday we hired bicycles, and set off on a 30km round trip through at times hair-raising traffic conitions, to check out the new and old Summer Palaces. The New Summer Palace was very unproductive, and the lakes frozen over, but the north end of the Old Summmer Palace produced a small flock of [B]Naumann's Thrush[/B] and a party of 4 very smart [B]Yellow-throated Buntings[/B]. A large flock of [B]Mallard[/B] contained no other duck species. Off to Beidaihe in a minute. 130 [B]WHITE-CHEEKED STARLING 131 LIGHT-VENTED BULBUL 132 CHINESE GROSBEAK 133 NAUMANN'S THRUSH 134 YELLOW-THROATED BUNTING[/B] [/QUOTE]
