    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Amur Leopard, wild Boar and knives TOD. There was better news late last year, with a female Amur Leopard with half-grown cub being caught in a camera trap, Jilin. Bearing in mind the estimated global population only numbers between 80-100, this news is cause for celebration. The Wild Boar in...

    Wader day Great day Tom. Congrats for the Avocet and Dowitchers. Both great birds. I was very envious of your Jap Quail photo earlier on. I must have seen well over 150 of them but I have never been able to get a shot. Your Chinese Egrets look marvellous. I haven't seen one in breeding plumage...

    Conference Tom: Made very good reading. I am sure all of us hope that your words of advice have not fallen on deaf ears. Change is happening so rapidly in China that it is a race against time to make sure that vital coastal and inland migration staging posts are not built over or reclaimed.

    Two-barred Crossbill Tom: Superb record. Congratulations. I agree with Terry that they are probably overlooked as they sometimes mix with other Crossbills but they are no doubt generally very scarce.

    Vega Gull sp Birulai Tom: I think you are right. The other alternative would be a winter plumage Taimyr Gull but that has a darker mantle and eye. It looks like sp.Birulai to me but I suggest you read Nial Moores excellent article on the following> Page 1 deals with sp.Birulai...

    Yellow-legged Gull Tom: Have you consulted the oracle PI ? I would humbly suggest winter Mongolian Gull although the posture is more reminiscent of a very pale Heuglin's.I think winter Vega should have streaked head and nape. I think the third shot of the small creature is a very rare Chinese...

    Peregrines returning to harass wildfowl Tom: It is quite normal for Peregrines to make a pass giving the duck the impression they have left the area when in reality they are gaining height nearby preparing to re-enter the kill zone with a high-speed stoop onto the birds. I have seen this...
