    Dalian (Jinshitan) Birding Reports

    Hi Tom - I was thinking on a more historical perspective. It's amazing to think that in a country of 1.3 billion that a birding site like you've found seems to have gone almost unnoticed. Do you ever see any local birders?

    I totally agree with Mike - part of our work is to record what was there - these threads will hopefully become historic documents that will inspire future generations to try a put a few things back to how they should be. I lived for 15 years in Denmark - the agricultural industry in that...

    I know how it feels - the rice fields just over from my apartment - where I've seen about 90 species - have also been completely destroyed this last couple of weeks - new building work!!!!! Luckily Sichuan still has huge areas of map with hardly a trail - so its just a matter of making sure we...
