Where is the painted snipe pond? I walked up and down the road on the other side of the canal from the barracks but didn't see any paths that looked like they led anywhere. I'm not familiar with the area so I was reluctant to go wandering through people's fields without any idea where I was going.
I did see the following birds of interest along the canal:
grey-backed thrush - several
brown-headed thrush - 1 male beyond the 2nd bridge
japanese thrush - 1 male beyond the 2nd bridge
blackbird - several
dusky warbler
yellow-browed warbler
pallas's warbler - lots!
asian brown flycatcher - 2
scarlet-backed flowerpecker - 1 beautiful male feeding in the mistletoe
common rosefinch - 1 female seen beyond the 2nd bridge
There were so many warblers that there may have been some others too, but I couldn't tell.
Cheers, Koren
