One early morning this week, I explored the wetlands outside Hangzhou, Fujian Province, China, in a wooden boat with a skilled and quiet oarsman. It was very good birding and a very relaxing and enjoyable 2-hour cruise, and surprisingly no mosquitoes.
Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis)
Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) - immature
Black-Crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) with dragonflies
Black-Billed Magpie (Pica pica) - Not a good snack though
Long-Tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) – I note that the crown is light gray, whereas the crown in LTS in the Philippines is black.
Unidentified bird, but it runs and stands on the ground like a Robin. I saw many around the wetlands and in the city parks.
