Sichuan Nov 7 - 18 2007
Qing Cheng Shan, Tang Jia He NNR & Wang Lang NNR

Jemi and I arrived in smoggy Chengdu on Nov 7th and first went ot Du Jiang Yan at the edge of the mountains to the west.  We had a look at the hillside around Ling Yan Temple and then spent two nights at Qing Cheng Hou Shan.

On Nov 10th we were joined in Chengdu by Wong Choi On and Tam Yiu Leung.  We birded Tang Jia He NNR (elevation 1500m) in Qing Chuan County from 11th to 14th, best day count: 50 species.  We moved to Wang Lang NNR (elevation 2560m) on the 14th. We saw fewer birds than at TJH but the higher elevation meant there were some new ones for the trip. Apart from the birds pictured below, highlights included Green Shrike Babbler and Golden Eagle at Tang Jia He, and Blood Pheasant, Crested Tit Warbler, Barred Laughingthrush, Spectacled Parrotbill and Three-toed Parrotbill at Wanglang. It was snowing as we left on Saturday 17th.

Here are some contacts and photos from the trip... a "proper" trip report will follow in due course. Meanwhile, if anyone would like further details of our arrangements

Slaty Bunting

Eurasian Nuthatch *

Collared Finchbill

*The author of "Tits, Nuthatches and Treecreepers" (Harrap 1996) noted that Chestnut-vented Nuthatch and Eurasian Nuthatch may "intergrade" in this part of Sichuan, so the visitor can while away many hours wondering which species (if Chestnut-vented IS a valid species) he is looking at !
