If you are more interested in feather mites than in birds, a paper describing two new species of pteronyssid feather mite species (one of which was collected from Collared Finchbills) may be more attractive to you than this post, despite the lack of photos. So, I guess maybe Shanghai is just too cold for it in winter.

One of the big advantages of 50 Top Birding Sites in Kenya is that it was written by a local birder who has clearly visited most of the sites many times and has an insider’s type of knowledge, as opposed to a somewhat superficial knowledge collected en route by visiting birders. The only thing left for me is to test this guide within Kenya.

How much do birders value a birding experience? But there are few transactions that can be analyzed to determine how much value birding experiences, themselves, provide to a birder.
