    Tadao Shimba's new "Birds of Japan and Northeast Asia" (2nd edition) is now out. Over 600 pages of stunning photographs of hundreds of species as well as ID guides, etc... Highly Recommended! I just received mine in the mail and am blown away by the quality. Great for people who like real...

    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Lancy, that place where the two seas meet is Laotieshan - one of the premier raptor watching points in east Asia in the fall. If you were there in early morning this time of year you would be shocked at how many passerines you would find in the bushes there. It's tailing off now but late April...

    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Hi Lancy, The Tiger Beach area is very underbirded (actually the whole city is). The Red-billed Blue Magpie photo is very good for ID. There is/was a bird park along the Bin Hai Lu near Tiger Beach and some things have escaped. White-browed Laughingthrush, Chinese Huamei, Red-billed...

    Hi Lancy, very interesting Black-tailed Gull indeed. I've seen one other leucistic one there before. I'm shocked at how empty Dalian Bay was for you. Heading to bed now. Tom

    Great to hear about your Mandarin skills Lancy, I was skeptical about how much of this could be accomplished without it. You certainly know Dalian well and shouldn't have a problem. Ive had similar experiences at Laotieshan with the army. It has become more relaxed now but I still used to...

    Gulls in the Dalian area in May and/or June Lancy, no worries! On public transportation around Dalian I would head to the Jinzhou garbage dump site. This is the Jinzhou in Dalian, not the larger city of Jinzhou nearer to Panjin. Take the qing gui (light rail) from downtown Dalian to Jinzhou...

    Hi Lancy, all of the above was for Owen for his half day birding trip south. I will post about finding gulls from public transportation later when I have more time. Owen, here are the google earth pictures. Red indicates roads that any vehicle can use and the best birding is possible from...

    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Hi Owen, To be honest, I would spend a half a day in the Zhuanghe and Pikou (Biliuhe) areas on your way down to Dalian instead of going all the way there. This time of year the shorebirding would be perfect and both sites would be completely full of things to see. All of the passerines...

    Jinshitan farewell circuit and final birding report post June 28, 2016 Last week I had a couple hours and did the rounds of several sites to see what was there and to say goodbye. After 12 years (birding for roughly 10 of them) living in Jinshitan it is time to go. This area is rich in bird...

    May 29, 2016 Jinshitan Geopark. I spent a few hours here with my parents. Tickets are 70 rmb or 35 for seniors and students. The walk has incredible scenery of coastal landforms/erosion and good birding. It is composed of a rock path that follows the coast as it wraps around the Jinshi Golf...

    Jinshi Golf Club last week Two hours inside this place. A ticket for 30 rmb is needed to enter and we were not hassled for birding in the entire area which was a nice change from other visits. Lots of nice habitat inside. The most notable thing was the 20+ Thick-billed Warblers. They were...

    Mike, thanks for pointing this out. When I originally read your post yesterday I was diving for the books, OBI, and xeno-canto. I've never seen Manchurian so have no experience with it. I heard the photographed bird singing in the reeds and pished it up to have a look. The song of...
