[China] Jiangxi, China 中國江西

Jiangxi, China 中國江西

In a six day trip searching for the Scaly-sided Mergansers from 15-20, November 2008, we visited 4 sites (Lung Hu Shan 鷹潭龍虎山, Yiyang上饒弋陽, Wuyuan/Dexing上饒婺源/德興, Xiushui九江修水) across the northern part of Jiangxi province. We were depressed by the small number of mergansers that we observed and the deteriorating habitat (see the Endangered Scaly-sided Merganser post). We thank Mr Lam for cheering us up by bringing us to Poyang Lake 鄱陽湖 on the last morning. That was a fine cold morning. We were greeted by the breathtaking sunrise over the lake, lots of cranes, geese and storks and also the Chinese Water Deers!多謝老林!

Mr Lin has upgraded his camera to EOS 50D and EF 300 f2.8L IS. He said he welcomes rental of his lens and/or camera if his customer needs. So next time perphaps we can just bring the binoculars and compact flash cards to Jiangxi!



Below are just some more of our photos:
