Paux;

Some great birds at a great  site - thanks for bringing back some memories of Po Yang..

Here's an account of a trip in December 1989,

We had Scaly-sided Merganser there, too, but no Porpoises...

Happy New Year !

John,

It's very interesting to read your report of a trip to the same destination in those difficult old days. Thank you. It seems that Poyang or Wucheng didn't change much since your visit 22 years ago; most of the bird species were still there. Meanwhile, Great Bustard is still on my 'wish list' , perhaps I need to visit Poyang Lake for the 3rd time to check my luck. According to our boatman, he didn't see this big bird for 2 years already.

Happy New Year!

Paul

Hi Paul,

Yes, it's great to see some of the same birds there, even the weather looks similar to what we had..

I believe that Great Bustard is more difficult to see everywhere in recent years.

Happy New Year

John
