With travel restrictions still in place, going on a birding trip outside of China is still not a practical option. Fortunately, China itself has a large number of bird species and habitats.

While Baihualing is much better for birds, foreigners are currently prohibited from going there, presumably as we all carry Covid-19, even if like me we have been in China the whole year. I am always happy to see Black-throated Bushtit, even though it is not really rare in China. Better safe than sorry, I guess. Does this sound bitter?

Hongbenghe, a small village right at the border of China’s Yunnan province and Myanmar, has a number of woodpeckers. And most birders (though not all – see here for an exception) quite like woodpeckers, making it a good topic for a dedicated post.

China’s massive investment in infrastructure has indirectly benefited birders. The post Birding Balangshan, Sichuan, China (part 1) appeared first on 10,000 Birds. Balangshan is a mountainous area in Sichuan complete with a pass at an altitude of 4500 meters. And it is a great place for birding.
