While these birds are very much liked by Chinese birders, the species could unfortunately not be named the National Bird of China as the Latin species name of the bird is Grus Japonicus. From my home in Shanghai, it is about a four-hour drive to the North to Yancheng, a place to look for Red-crowned Cranes in winter.

The chapter titled “Chasing Angels,” for example, starts with naval officer Irven Buss using his naval ship’s radar to track birds off the coast of China in 1946. There are many strands that make up the scientific investigations into the question, “Where do the birds go?”

In retrospect, this weekend at Wuyuan was not exactly my finest hour as a bird photographer – hopefully, I could do better now, and perhaps one day I will, should normal traveling ever be possible again in China. Taking photos of such a rare species is a bit of a double-edged sword. Wuyuan is in Jiangxi province.

That comes at a price – the HBW describes the species as “stocky and fairly sluggish” and – with a critical undertone – continues to state that the species is “generally less agile in flight than are most flycatchers”. Why the Latin species name is cyaniventer (meaning having a dark blue belly) remains a mystery to me though.

There are very few areas in Roebuck Bay that shorebirds can roost on very high tides due to the cliffs and many of the larger species will go out onto the land behind the mangroves. The rest of the birds had been marked locally, but we still took down the details as the next time they are observed may well be in Taiwan, China or Korea.

As our Gypsy comes to a halt, one Oriental Honey Buzzard is investigating the new arrivals.

Being lazy, a bunch of researchers used camera traps to investigate the species rather than following the birds directly (which would have had some health benefits). They found that the species is diurnal (well, using cameras, would they even have seen nightly activities?), Being wet seems to help, though.
