    Sichuan Birding

    Roland, I recall you mentioning Bar-winged wb at Tangjiahe... If I am not mistaken, that ought to be taxon halsueti, which I believe there are no or extremely few records of in recent times. Rumours also indicate it may be a separate good species... Does anyone else have any info on this...

    Sichuan Birding

    @Dev... a female Dark-Rumped Rosefinch...! Not quite the Flamingo or Steller's Sea-Eagle or similar or kind of stonker, which one would have thought more appropriate for the big celebration. But it did cause some id challenge which of course always is good! Cheers jocko

    Sichuan Birding

    Sid and Roland, thanks a lot for insights in the Barwing! Perhaps a camping session on the Old Erlang Rd is the way to go. Or, perhaps easier just to sit it out at the university site. I am sure a flock will pop up there together with Blackthroats at some point ;) No Sichuan plans in the...

    Sid, Roland, James and others, thanks a lot for all your advice on my Barwing, Cochoa, Blanford posting. I might make an attempt for barwing later in the autumn, depending on when the Labahe area opens fully after the earthquake. Does anyone know if they move to lower altitudes during winter...

    Labahe Red Panda Twitch Together with my kids Egon (13) and Ida (11), I took the opportunity to spend a couple of days of the National Holiday to look for Red Panda at Labahe. This was the third attempt for me to get to this specific place. Previously I have failed due to monk uprisings. This...

    Tangjiahe Tangjiahe indeed has a lot of bamboo and I agree with James, Blackthroat must be there. However, I have been there twice and spent quite a few hours trawling with the BT tape with no result, so I believe it is pretty rare even in top quality habbo. TJH is really superb. One of the...

    Blackthroat After my own failed but extremely memorable, targeted Blackthroat searches at Taibai Shan, Baishuijiang, Baihe, Tangjiahe and Jiuzhaiguo over the past eight years, I must say there is a sense of relief that it is proven it actually does breed in the area. See you in Foping! jocko
