Birding Nonggang, Guangxi, China – part 2

10,000 Birds

The breeding ecology of the Yellow-bellied Warbler was actually studied exactly here at Nonggang in 2019 by 3 Chinese researchers. And of course, on a rather rare occasion for this blog, an almost perfect link to the next bird (my favorite transition is still the Monty Python one: “And now for something completely different”).

Birding Wuyuan, China

10,000 Birds

But then, I am not a cooperative breeder either (nor a non-cooperative one, should this term exist). This Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker in particular is a species I would like to get much better photos of. Such a cute bird deserves a better representation.
