SEPTEMBER 3, 2011

I have taken refuge on the high ground as Irene batters the east coast of North America and Nanmadol swamps the Philipines, Taiwan and east China, but my thoughts and best wishes are with anyone who has been affected by the storms. First up we have the Red Warbler.

I am currently busy entering data on a voluntary basis for about 3500 shorebirds, so everything is up to date when I get reports of these birds in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea in future weeks.

The bird “spent five months on Mindoro Island in the Philippines during the non-breeding season and migrated through Taiwan, the Chinese east coast, and the Korean peninsula” and on to the Russian Far East (indicating a certain lack of solidarity with Ukraine).

A study found that for Plain Prinia , egg characteristics in a mainland China location with many cuckoos make it much easier to spot cuckoo eggs than in a Taiwan location with few cuckoos ( source ). For those who think evolution is a wrong theory, these differences may well have been created by god.
