This post is about Dunlins, as seen in and around Shanghai in the autumn of 2024 – the usual mix of photos and some facts which I steadfastly refuse to call “fun facts” While Dunlins are presumably not a species that gets the pulse of birders racing, I had two motivations to work on this post.

I’m a long-time fan of video tools for selling. I spent years touting the sight, sound, motion, and emotion of television advertising in a local, traditional media environment. Specifically, I was selling to advertisers the viewers of programs adjacent to these television commercials. It was relatively easy selling a product that you totally believed in and witnessed its success firsthand.

My wife and I reached southern Spain’s Costa del Sol region on October 19th, staying until the 4th of November. Spain, coming out of a multi-year drought, had begun receiving promising early season rains. And then, on October 29th, these rains turned torrential, leading to Spain’s worst-ever natural disaster. To date when I’m writing this, 217 deaths have been reported.

What is your favorite bird species? I would always say the Black-throated Tit, not just because it is the first bird I identified in the field, but also simply because it is cute. I have a soft spot for cute passerines. What is your name, and where do you live? My name is Zhang Zhuyang, but I usually go by Bella Zhang when guiding, to make things easier.

Last week I wrote about the birds that fly over my Suffolk garden (in eastern England), this time it’s the turn of the real garden birds, those that not only land in the garden, but also feed in it. I’ve only lived in my current house for five years: the previous owners weren’t interested in either birds or gardening, so I have to work hard to make the half-acre property more attractive to birds.

After having had a summer with a rich set of different birding experiences – from Rock Ptarmigan in the Alps to scoping out Little Bustards in a steppe in southern France – it was quite a contrast to get back to Bonn in Germany for work and suddenly having my bird sightings reduced to my cycle rides to and from work.

Surely this is not going to be a very interesting post for many, as the flow of traveling birders tends to be of a southward trajectory. But for the first time in my life, I ended up birding on British soil some weeks ago – and that experience elucidated the exact reasons why so many Brits travel for birds. This is not in any way meant to be inflammatory – but you know it.

There are two indicators of autumn starting in Shanghai. My favorite cat June starts sleeping on my lap again, the warmth of my legs turning into an advantage rather than the disadvantage it was during the summer. And Daurian Redstarts showing up in Shanghai – they will spend the winter here. Both the males … … and the slightly less impressive females.

In my less than four years of birding and bird photography, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to six countries for birding, each offering unique opportunities to observe and photograph incredible avian life. My latest adventure took me to Ontario, Canada, home of 10000birds’ very own writer Leslie Kinrys, and one of the best birding locations I have been to in terms of ease of finding birds.

It’s a common birder story–stuck in a city on your way to another city with time to bird but little preparation on where to bird. I was in this situation two years ago, sitting in an airport hotel in Sydney, Australia, on my way early the next morning to Darwin. I was in Australia and wanted badly to see birds NOW, despite the jetlag, despite the pouring rain.
