Birding Balangshan, Sichuan, China (part 3)

10,000 Birds

And the last notable animals we saw were a troupe of Rhesus Macaques on the roadside. I still do not like monkeys very much.

October is probably not a good time to visit this place.

10,000 Birds

Regular readers to the blog may have noticed Redgannet’s post on some delightful finchbills he saw in China. The first monkey I saw. You may have noticed when conversing with them that the distinction between an animal counting or not is much less important. Really really? What matters is the fact of the encounter.

Birding Kangding, Sichuan

10,000 Birds

In Kangding, there is a rather opulent bird hide – two stories, solid construction, spacious, lots of glass, a separate paved parking lot, though mysteriously (and as far as I can tell from my experience of living in China for almost 20 years, not indicative of fundamentally different physical needs of Chinese people) missing a bathroom.
