Oriental Scops Owls are quite possibly my favorite bird at Nanhui. Bird-shaped cuteness. The Relict Gull is listed as vulnerable – apparently, it is one of the scarcest of gulls with a global population estimated at 10,000–20,000 mature individuals and up to 30,000 birds.

Very similar in size and shape to the very common Turkey Vulture , the Zone-tailed Hawk is quite often found circling on the wind currents with those very vultures. This allows the Zone-tailed Hawk to approach much closer, before swooping in quickly. There is a small population in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and northern Argentina.

It may be considered to be a trash bird by some. In fact, so large and abundant is it, that French hunters often cross La Manche to shoot birds in Kent and no-one seems to mind.The only other likely Columbidae would be the Eurasian Collared Dove and European Turtle Dove. It can be seen anywhere there are trees or meadows.

The best birding of the day was found along the much quieter roads in the south east section. However, the crest is not always obvious and its diet is likely to contain birds and small mammals as well as reptiles. It is an easy bird to identify in flight with its broad white bands along the underside of the wings and tail.

There are probably more identification guides about raptors than there are for any other bird group. This is a second edition that has been rewritten, updated, and re-invented, and it will doubtlessly become the hawk identification bible of our birding era. Yes, I saw the bird and it was incredible.)
