Dear all,
I was working in BJ last week and on 29 March I went to Bejing Yeyahu Wetland. I am a new bird watcher and only start bird watching January this year, but still I can find 42 different species in the Wetland. The official different number of species are 274. Just one day before my visit, they announced that a Siberian Crane with 20 White-naped Cranes were found in the Wetland. I think it is worth going especially in April.
Below is the link showing 215 species of birds found in Yeyahu wetland. I cannot find the latest list, but 10 new species are found there including: Bar-headed goose(斑头雁), Imperial Eagle(白肩雕), Booted Eagle(靴隼雕), Little Gull(小鸥), Glaucous Gull(北极鸥),Black Bittern(黑鳽),Dusky Eagle-Owl (乌雕), Brown Snake Eagle (短趾雕), Himalayan Vulture(高山兀鹫), Cinnamon Bittern(栗尾鳽)

Yeyahu in Chinese is "Wild Duck Lake" so there are lots of different type of ducks there. But the lake is too large my skill and my equipment are not capable to capture all of them. Below just show some "better" one.
