Hainan Jian Feng Ling 海南島 尖峰岭 2010

Spent our first few days of 2010 at Hainan Jian Feng Ling with 4 other birdwatchers, we left HK on the 31st via Shenzhen airport and flown to Sanya. Stayed on til the 5th of Jan which gave us around 5 days to bird in the area. A total of 95 species was seen in 5 days, including most of our targeted birds and endemic (Except for the Blue-bearded Bee-eater, Large Scimitar Babbler & Hainan Peacock Pheasant). It was an enjoyable birding trip in all, with great company, great food and great birds!! What more can you get??3551smile445 The conditions in the rainforest does not favour photography though, my excuse for these rather poor photos!!

Jianfengling

Hi Matthew,

Yes, Jianfengling is a great place for birds, and relatively easy to get to from Hong Kong (with direct flights to Sanya from HK and Shenzhen)

Are you free to come along to the Indoor Meeting about JFL on 3rd February at the Scout Centre ?

John

Hi John

It is a great place, hoping to go to other places on Hainan in the future too! I have a feeling that Hainan is really under birded and much more awaits for discovery! I should be able to go that day, it will be great to hear other birders share their findings and experiences overseas too!!3551smile445

Matt

Wonderful trip Matthew!! I should have skipped classes and gone with you...!! 3551em5445

This was a splendid trip. We did not expect to see so many birds - both in species and in number. On the last day, we were actually surrounded by waves of bird - minivetss, sultan tits, woodshrikes, white-browed shrike-babbers, pygmy woodpeckers, and lots of yellow-billed nuthatch. We wish to thank Dr Kwan for inviting us to join the trip and in particularly Matthew who spotted so many birds for us.
Everyone of us though has at least one or two leeches climbed up their body but luckily not everyone got a bite. I think this is part of the admission fee to tropical rainforest. We noticed that the route leading up to the watchtower in the core area is least infested with leech.

Yellow-billed nuthatch photographed by Uncle & the Snowy-browed flycatcher photographed (and actually discovered) by Auntie, both on 4/1/2010.
