Lianyunkong, Jiangsu 江蘇連雲港
Last Sat. I joined a group of birders from Beijing & Shanghai to hire a boat at Lianyunkong to look for seabirds. After 3 hours when we approached a small island at Yellow Sea, we finally met 2 seabirds which were not shy to perform their diving skills in front of our boat.

The next day we watched the movement on sea from the coast and were surprised to see this Dalmatian Pelican 卷羽鵜鶘.

There was also a small flock of Relict Gulls 遺鷗 flying over our heads.

Thanks for posting this - we just don't see enough "Pelagic Birding" news in this region.
