Wood Warbler at Yangkou,Rudong- 20th September,2008 by Li Jing,Zhang Lin etc |

A high tide at Yangkou on 20th Sep provided very good chance for watching waders including Spoon-billed Sandpiper which arrived there in mid-August in full breeding plumage.We started driving from Shanghai early in the morning,and arrived around ten o'clock.After a quick lunch in the town,we were prepared to go down to the mudflat.But the weather was becoming worse and worse,then heavy rain and thunderstorm came!Nothing to do in the restaurant,we decided to stay in our car on the seawall,hoping the rain to stop soon.Here and there on the mudflat,lightnings were hitting the ground.Wow!What a wonderful while horrible view! |

a large warbler,with large bill,as Arctic and Eastern Crowned, When we believed it to be really safe to go to the mudflat,the tide had already went down far away.The waders were too spreaded .We only found one Spoon-billed Sandpiper. There are very few records of Wood Warbler in China,only coming from the Altai Mountains in North Xinjiang,Northwest China.This one is probably the first in East China. |
