  • SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan)
    Temminck’s Tragopan (all photos by Dave Farrow unless indicated otherwise) SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan) 16/19 MAY – 7 JUNE 2018 LEADER: DAVE FARROW The Birdquest tour to Sichuan this year was a great success, with a slightly altered itinerary to usual due to the closure of Jiuzhaigou, and we enjoyed a very smooth and enjoyable trip around the spectacular and endemic-rich mountain and plateau landscapes of this striking province. Gamebirds featured strongly with 14 species seen, the highlights of them including a male Temminck’s Tragopan grazing in the gloom, Chinese Monal trotting across high pastures, White Eared and Blue Eared Pheasants, Lady Amherst’s and Golden Pheasants, Chinese Grouse and Tibetan Partridge. Next were the Parrotbills, with Three-toed, Great and Golden, Grey-hooded and Fulvous charming us, Laughingthrushes included Red-winged, Buffy, Barred, Snowy-cheeked and Plain, we saw more Leaf Warblers than we knew what to do with, and marvelled at the gorgeous colours of Sharpe’s, Pink-rumped, Vinaceous, Three-banded and Red-fronted Rosefinches, the exciting Przevalski’s Finch, the red pulse of Firethroats plus the unreal blue of Grandala. Our bird of the trip? Well, there was that Red Panda that we watched for ages! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Sichuan Including Northern Yunnan 2018 www.birdquest-tours.com Our tour began with a short extension in Yunnan, based in Lijiang city, with the purpose of finding some of the local specialities including the rare White-speckled Laughingthrush, which survives here in small numbers. Once our small group had arrived in the bustling city of Lijiang we began our birding in an area of hills that had clearly been totally cleared of forest in the fairly recent past, with a few trees standing above the hillsides of scrub.

  • Beijing & Yunnan, China, with OBC
    Beijing & Yunnan, China, with OBC. An at-a-glance list of 436 species of birds & eight species of mammals recorded. By Jesper Hornskov ® ***this draft 22 Aug 2010*** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Please note that the following list is best considered a work in progress. It should not be quoted without consulting the author . Based mostly on my own field notes, this brief write-up covers the birds & mammals noted by C Clifford (until 27 March), C Dietzen, P Drake-Brockman, R East, W Grossi, E Patterson, P Post, W v d Schot, N Zalinge & myself during the 15 March – 3 April 2010 OBC Fundraiser trip to Beijing’s Botanical Garden, and Lijiang, Gaoligongshan, Tengchong, the Yingjiang area & Ruili. We recorded 436 species of birds and eight species of mammals on the 'main tour', very similar totals to those of a private tour in 2008 & the 2009 OBC Fundraiser. An additional 24 species were noted when eight of us covered Beijing's Wild Duck Lake on 4 th - to make it easier for future participants to decide if it might be worth their while to extend their visit by a day or two these are mentioned in the list but are not included in the total species tally - and quite a few more, notably Long-billed Plover Charadrius placidus , and Tristram’s Emberiza tristrami & Yellow-browed Buntings E. chrysophrys , were found during 'non-scheduled' excursions before and after the trip. Beijing's winter returned with a vengeance in the run-up to the trip, with thick snow in the mountains preventing access to the Ibisbill site on 14 March.

  • OBC Yunnan, China, 6-28 Nov 2010
    Yunnan, China, with OBC: Nov 2010. An at-a-glance list of 387 species of birds & seven species of mammals recorded. By Jesper Hornskov ® ***this draft 30 Aug 2012*** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Please note that the following list is best considered a work in progress. It should not be quoted without consulting the author. Based mostly on my own field notes, this brief write-up covers the birds & mammals noted by G Bowen, P Duffus, R Robinson, T Townshend & myself in Yunnan over 7-27 November 2010. We recorded 387 species. An additional 45 (including some Palearctic Megas) were logged on pre- & post-trip excursions near Beijing on 6th & 29th – for want of what else to do with them, and to make it easier for future travellers to decide if it might be worth their while to extend their visit by a day or two, these are included in the list. Around Beijing the weather was as expected fine both before and after the trip - unfortunately a flight delay caused PD to miss the highly rewarding excursion to Wild Duck Lake on 6th (but GB & I were happy to welcome M Moeller on board for the day), and regrettably neither GB, RR nor TT were able to stay on for an extra day so on 29th it was only PD & myself who made the most of a fine, on-the-threshold-of-winter day at Botanical Gardens. In Yunnan the weather lived up to expectations with no more than 15 minutes of rain in three weeks. We 'did' our main target area, mostly forested habitats at c300-2,500 masl W of the Salween, under mostly magnificently blue skies before bagging the hoped-for Rufous-tailed Moupinia Moupinia poecilotis & Yunnan Nuthatch Sitta yunnanensis without breaking into a run at Lijiang.

    CHINA: YUNNAN TOUR 14 - 22 MAY 2022 13 - 21 MAY 2023 11 - 19 MAY 2024 Silver Pheasant is one of our gorgeous targets on this trip. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINE RARY China: Yunnan Yunnan is the most southwestern province in China and is the country’s most diverse province, biologically as well as culturally. Yunnan contains snow-capped mountains (it is at the far eastern edge of the Himalayan uplift) and true tropical environments, thus supporting a wide range of habitats and species. The northern part of the province forms part of the Yunnan-Guizhou (Yungui) Plateau, the province borders Guangxi and Guizhou in the east, Sichuan in the north, Tibet in the northwest, Myanmar in the west, Laos in the south, and Vietnam in the southeast. Unlike neighboring Sichuan, Yunnan province is relatively tiny, covering only approximately four percent of the land area of China, yet it supports over half of the country's bird and mammal species. In addition, the Yunnan mountains are an Endemic Bird Area, EBA (BirdLife International) centered around the Hengduan Shan (mountains). Here three restricted-range species occur: Brown-winged Parrotbill, Yunnan Nuthatch, and White-speckled Laughingthrush, as well as many other amazing birds. This short, small group Yunnan bird tour covers the best birding locations of the province, including the unparalleled Gaoligong Shan National Nature Reserve, a site which boasts over 525 bird species within its boundaries, the southern section of which is recognized as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. Some of the fantastic birds we will look for during the tour include, in addition to the aforementioned species: White-eared Night Heron, Mrs.

  • Sichuan, China
    SICHUAN, CHINA May 23rd – June 11th 2004 by Fredrik Ellin, Erik Landgren and Peter Schmidt Below Balan Shan Pass, Wolong Introduction The idea for this trip was conceived after the three of us having consumed a few beers too many at a party in February. Since all of us were able to get time of work and we still thought it was a good idea a couple of weeks later, we soon started to make the arrangements. Firethroats and Rufous-headed Robins arrive to their breeding grounds fairly late in the season. Mainly for this reason, we decided to go in the end of May, even though we knew that by this time most migrants had already passed by. Initially, our intention was to visit also the Tibetan plateau on the way to Jiuzhaigou, but well in Sichuan, we soon realized that we would risk spending to much of our limited time on the roads and finally choose to stay more days in Wolong and in Jiuzhaigou. Although any attempt to communicate with people is hampered by the language barrier, we found most of the Chinese to be very friendly and helpful. The infamous crowds reported by others on Emei Shan were not a big problem and in Jiuzhaigou very few of the tourists leave the paved roads and boardwalks. Although all places visited offered some very impressive scenery, all of us thought that the visit to Wolong and Balan Shan was the nicest experience. Not only because this was the most accessible and less crowded place, but also because the alpine meadows and forests were quite extraordinary.

Abstract The checklists of birds of India, the Indian Subcontinent, and South Asia (www.indianbirds.in/checklists) have been updated with the recent taxonomic changes and 14 additional columns have been added to the India Checklist. Of the 36 species that went through taxonomic updates, 30 involved change of genera, three had their specific epithets changed, two had their English names updated, and one had both its genus and specific epithets changed. Henceforth the India Checklist spreadsheet will include columns that indicate the vagrant and historical status of a species, their IUCN threat category, CITES and CMS Appendices, Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (WPA) Schedules, and their presence in ten Endemic Bird Areas. The India Checklist will also carry two new appendices that will list species whose origins/provenance were uncertain and species that have occurred in the country by means of human assistance.
