 | | Siberian Rubythroat, Yellow-streaked Warbler and Rufous-breasted Accentor are among the most conspicuous species here, though the splendid forests on this little-known mountain host a variety of other interesting birds such as Elliot's Laughingthrush, White-bellied Redstart, Kessler's Thrush, the diminutive Crested Tit-Warbler, the recently described Gansu Leaf-Warbler and Pine Bunting. |
 | | Throughout the autumn the wooded gardens and gullies of the town, the rocky outcrops and estuaries along the coastline, and the low-lying wooded hills a little way inland act as magnets for the thousands of birds migrating south, and our visit is perfectly timed to coincide with the peak of this migration. |
 | | Other species we should see are Falcated Duck, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Amur Falcon, Red-necked Stint, Great Knot, Siberian Rubythroat, Red-flanked Bluetail, White's and Eyebrowed Thrushes, a number of other eastern Phylloscopus warblers and a wide variety of buntings that should include Siberian Meadow, Yellow-browed and Pallas's Reed. |
