Biggest surprise of this trip - Harlequin Duck 丑鴨

Wow -only the second Harlequin I've ever heard of in China, plus a great supporting cast - its not often Scaly-sided Merganser gets relegated to second place!

Looking forward to seeing what else you saw Paux.

Cheers
Mike

Finally, a scene of Yalu River with a train bridge linking China & N. Korea. More bird photos of this NE China trip will be posted on a new thread.

Great pictures, and I have to agree with Mike's comment !

How did you get there, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks Ken.
Actually to visit Ji An is quite straightforward. There is a morning train (11:10) departs from Beijing Station to Tong Hua (通化) which takes about 19 hrs. & arrives Tong Hua at 06:24. Then there is a train departs from Tong Hua to Ji An (集安) at 07:32 & the trip takes about 3 hrs. At Ji An, you can hire a taxi to search for the ducks along Yalu River. Ji An is a beautiful town along Yalu River at the border with N. Korea & its streets are exceptionally clean.
One thing to note, photographers are advised not to bring super-telephoto lens to the river as this is a sensitive area & may cause trouble.

Samuel, 多謝.
能在短短兩天半裏看見這些鴨子,不敢說大有斬獲, 但還是很興奮!
