****Please help me to identify the birds' name, many many thanks*****

I have also seen a certain species of Crow, they have metallic blue feathers. Quite common in Jiuzhaigou and nearby forrest.

On my way in Jiuzhaigou, I saw many swifts of cetain kind flying in valleys.

p.s. To moderators: the name and location of these image files are tempoary, I will rename and relocate the files once I found the name of the birds. Could you mind transfer the file to HKBWS server later? Thx.

Hi Dominic,

Before they are being identified, I think it is more appropriate to move the message temporary to this forum.

Do you have the "中國鳥類野外手冊"?
If yes, please read the plate no. 78, 86 & 87 for trying id them first.

Regards,

Forrest

Hi Dominic,

If you still plan to go to China for birdwatching in future, I do recommend you to buy the book and society office should still have a few copies!

Anyway, I help you on the identification of these birds this time. They are (from top to bottom) Plumbeous Water Redstart, Riverchat, Grey-crested Tit, Mallard (you know already) and Eurasian Nuthatch. Except the Grey-crested Tit, you could find the other in the 'Birds of Hong Kong and South China'.

Thx a lot, TUNG
For #1 and #2, I have thought about redstart and riverchat too, but the color or redstart looks quite different in the book :-/

I still have to learn....... :-[

Forrest, no problem, I will post them again and do it one by one.
