    I've seen similar pale-looking young Siberian so was being cautious but yes, a very nice Mountain Weasel!

    Interesting... looks like a Mountain Weasel rather than a Siberian, shame we can't see the feet.

    Agree Sid, Caution at all times methinks. Just an example.... amazing number of to me, obvious Chinese specimens on sale from Kent. I find all sorts on auction sites including some of the above mentioned...

    Feeling rather lucky at the moment I think, was due to be working in Ya'an from the 22nd, for the Chinese, thoughts go out to all those affected. It's been cancelled, but wishing Al and Sid luck with forthcoming trips.

    Hi Sid, Looks like all the good work continues... Hoping to get out there at some stage sooner than later! Wonder if you fancy casting your experienced eye over Xuky's latest phyllosc in the Id section? - http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=242060

    Hello David, Welcome to the forum, despite your first post being with such disturbing news! I have heard of this happening in Eastern Europe before but certainly haven't heard or seen it on visits to China. I am going to repost on the bird of prey section here -...

    Interesting! Some of the Asian ssp of Wildcat are actually quite spotted, but I'm fairly certain this isn't one of them. This looks like a young animal to me and the strength of the facial markings especially the cheek stripe together with the spotted, not barred limbs would indicate Leopard...

    Very nice, well sad as well. I'll leave the Pika for James, the Owl looks like a Collared Scops, but looks large, is that a child holding it?

    Gripped!!!! Tibetan Fox on my wanted list, what a shape, drawn to it ever since I saw it on Attenborough, great stuff Sid! You'll like the Cat stuff, should heighten the drive to go and find a Snow Leopard, not far away with some inspiring shots! Thanks James!

    Absolutely, I look forward to this years adventures and discoveries, good luck to you both.

    Agree, though I think Pallas's can be ruled out as it has very broad paws, chunky feet and these prints look rather nimble. That sounds about right..

    I'd be interested in hearing what you come up with Sid, I have been looking quite seriously at the mammals of the region and am keen to hear what you see, regularly or otherwise. Have you seen Pallas's Cat on your travels?

    What a magnificent beast that Panda is, gripped. I think its a Short-eared Sid, you can see a white trailing edge to the secondaries and everything else fits.

    Fantastic! I know that 'Goodgame' wiggle! ;) Looks like I'm going to suffer some gripping tales when I next see them :-C

    Think I'd leave the country LOL... I will have a word with the boss about space flights ;) Great pics as usual!

    Sichuan Birding

    Yep, that's the right word Mike..... Gonna have to suffer plenty of stories from the pair when I next see them, gripped....thoroughly!

    LOL, I know, cost me a good look at some mountain finches! Some amazing stuff on this thread Sid, just been catching up.. Keep up the good work, I'm envious and inspired :t:

    Oooohh that magical series! Well they don't have a green envy icon here otherwise I'd post one. Six years at Twycross taught me that Snub-nosed are the gnats ********. Genuinely keen on this, let us know, you might have an instant punter. Going to be a bloody great trip anyway, some serious...
