Great record!

I think there are one or two records from Taiwan, but this appears to be the first for continental China.

We are so blessed to encounter this interesting bird.  According to A Field Guide to the Birds of China 2000 championed by Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences ( by John MacKinnon, Karen Phillipps  in collaboration with He Fen-qi),the bird possibly entered PRC occasionally.  It was translated as 飾胸鷸 in the Field Guide.  It was also translated as 飾胸鷸 in the China Bird Report Ed2013.  The CBR Checklist of Birds of China V.3.0 and being classified as NT ( Near threatened) .  However, the Taiwan name is published as 黃胸鷸, classified as Vagrant Visitor.

Looking forward to hearing more interesting stories brought by this interesting bird!!!! Bird watching is great fun!!!!

我們有幸能与此有趣的鳥兒邂逅。根據由中國科學院動物研究所主持編制的中國鳥類野外手冊2000,(約翰、馬敬能,卡倫、菲利普斯、何芬奇著)所述,這隻被譯為飾胸鷸的鳥可能有時也偶入中國大陸;根據中國觀鳥年報編輯2013.中國觀鳥年報-中國鳥類名錄3.0版 (由董路、雷進宇、劉陽及危騫編輯),此鳥亦被譯為飾胸鷸,IUCN紅色名彔列為近危等級。在台灣,此鳥叫黃胸鷸,列為迷鳥。

盼望這有趣的鳥兒能為我們帶來更多有趣故事。人鳥和諧,觀鳥同樂!

郑光美2011:黄胸鹬中国分布只有台湾(郑光美的书也用黄胸鹬,中文名委员会要建议香港用那一个中文名字)。
