    Good birding in Bukit Tampin, Malaysia. September 2023

    My wife and I just finished a week in Tampin near to Malacca. A decent town with good food and friendly people. And - unlike some towns in Southeast Asia - there is a decent nature trail walking distance from the town. In our four times up this trail, a paved road with very little vehicular...

    Reintroduction after several years

    Hi all. I used to post here fairly often when I was living in China (Jilin City and Dalian area, 2012-2017). I have rediscovered this site just a few days ago. Since I have retired we are fortunate to travel around several places. We are now in Malaysia. By way of reintroduction I would like to...

    Fairy Pitta in Mokpo

    We tried to go to Yeosu, were as close as Suncheon. But we just could not get credible nature information about the area around that city. We didn't want another profound birding dissapointment like this so-called nature park (the name escapes me now) with acres and acres of manicured lawns...

    Fairy Pitta in Mokpo

    Thanks for the feedback, Alan and H. I guess this was the birding highlight of my 2 weeks in South Korea. I would normally have posted these photos to Flickr but, unfortunately, in its most recent snit, has blocked Flickr.

    Fairy Pitta in Mokpo

    Does anyone know how common, relatively speaking, Fairy Pittas are in South Korea? My wife and I, having taken a lesser used path on our way down Mt. Yudalsan in Mokpo, came across this beautiful bird. I am so glad that I took a second look. At first I thought I was just seeing a jay! A...

    Jilin sightings

    I'm hurrying things up the best I can. BTW, the school is 大连财经学院 Dalian University of Finance and Economics. It looks to be more in a city area. But it would be good to just be in the Dalian area. To be back in China, for that matter.

    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Hi Tom. I hope you continue to have time to post reports and pictures. They are very interesting. I had been in Jilin up until February of this year, and had even started the Jilin sightings thread. Currently in Kansas, but now it looks like I just might be getting a new teaching opportunity in...

    Jilin sightings

    My remaining time in Jilin proved so busy or diverting that I never got around to posting the rest of my birding activities in that province. I have plenty of notes and pictures still. Later I will post the best ones. We are now in Kansas, but it looks like I may be getting another teaching...

    Jilin sightings

    Here is the video link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/asterisktom/7313742660/in/photostream Judging by the song and by what detail I can see it seems to be either a Yellow-browed (most likely) or a Pallas's Leaf-Warbler. At least I can't see any other option. Additional information: This bird...
