Spring bird-watching a small mountain town in mind, Dehua
Chinese New Year back home - Dai the foot of the Dehua five days, almost every day, busy bird-watching, of course, beautiful dishes did not miss, so say that the Spring Festival, she came back, should be harvesting the biggest and most significant The once again.
1, Valley
Back to the home is Danian 28 of the evening, had no time to go bird-watching than before, but the windows of my house imkye sunset and look under the golden valley, in the stream, the stream of stone, in the stream of sand , stream of the vegetable plot, Chinese Pond Heron, Red-tailed water-Robin, Common Kingfisher, White Wagtail are all welcome to my return. I thought to feel pleased but not, it seems, as I expected, downstairs in my home valley in this section will surely be a good place for bird watching!
The next day, Danian 29, the last day of the year. Downstairs until 7:30 am, day shade, and wind some tight, home-based than Germany Xiamen, a lot of cold, but experienced the Dongting Lake Qifenglengyu This difficulty negligible.
I along the side of the stream of the dam, walking to see, first saw the stone in the stream of red tail-water Robin. Previously, I are a long distance to see this bird with reddish-brown tail, and now they are on my side of the stone, or dam, also close to three meters or so, see things very clearly, and that female male, as well as sub-adult birds, saw a total of 10 to only bar. Red-tailed water-robin child may be small, but quite fierce, and often to be at White Wagtail run around to catch up. The White Wagtail in the red-tailed Robin that suffer a loss of water, put the gas found scattered in the gray wagtail, white wagtail behind chasing, gray wagtail fled screaming in front, but wait until the pond heron flying past, red tail Robin also had fled the water, and is really an object down a thing ah.
East along the embankment when I go Suzhebozai when suddenly someone far away vaguely heard my name called, I looked back, just across the river more than 100 meters outside the two people dressed in black to me beckoned. Looked at who did not recognize, but fortunately, there咱telescope which was originally returning students and festive. Then listen to them say that they know I am in Xiamen Bird Watching Society, saw a man standing in the early morning wind in the hand like a telescope, though to look at is unclear, but that can only be me.
Went to a sandbar edge bar here might be inaccessible, the birds once more up. Previously, the water's edge to see less starling, Black-collared Starling and Spotted Dove, this time, they are in groups, squeeze the water's edge of the sandbar, or tidal flats, let me have a deeper habits of their Learn.
In the river, a wire, on a Brown Shrike and a group of starlings closely together at the station, Brown Shrike can be considered whatever the outcome, small birds of prey, is no traces lakes are loners, but now we have such a warmth and in Crested Myna closely and see I am laughing. Oh, bird-watching does not necessarily want to see many rare birds, sometimes in the common birds found in some interesting "bird thing", also gave us many happy, this is not the original intention of our bird-watching, one of do?

Second, driving yunting Hill
Danian 29, from the valley to come back bird-watching is already 9:40 a. After a hurried breakfast, went to the middle of a county board of about 170 meters elevation hills - driving yunting Hill.
I remember a child often went to the hill overlooking the town, monastery is surrounded by the surrounding mountain ranges, and accordingly to different student wrote 34 years related to this mountain naive lyrical composition. At this point, 10 years later, I was standing on the Peak, mountain or hill, water, or Natiao water, those years in the future, the mountain outside world is full of longing for the little boy had been old, was just as old. . . The birds do not care about the passage of time, this world cold, still live alone in the mountains, no one asked the day, quiet, serene. Well, actually, and they are compared to our life is not more at ease, comfortable, wishful, who is there clear where we stand?
The sun was out, shining gently on the mountain road covered with fallen leaves, Fengyi Chui, there is still a small brown leaf whistle to falling. I tread lightly, fallen leaves, and slowly walked to pay attention to the trees, trees, bamboo bushes. Birds also have run out of the sun, feel comfortable in the forest shuttle.
The Ukrainian mountain thrush and screaming around the Peak Zhuanquan Quan flight, here is the bird Turdus merula many potential public. However, a White-bellied Thrush can chose not to believe this evil, it occupies a site on the Peak, when there is Turdus merula settled, which, while smaller body than the Blackbird is still fierce with impunity rushed Turdus merula to Turdus merula off. It is much smaller and its contrast to the Red-flanked Bush Robin was spared, it appears that White-bellied Thrush is a fear of rape, compassionate Liangshan hero.
In a bamboo forest, came the sound of intermittent noted the rate, I am busy to get on the ground who are carefully observed, can only see a few birds are red-brown, went to the other side of the bamboo grove. So I have to go around, in the observation of Wang Dan's light squat, then go back to just a few birds they had there. I had to back around the back, they are running and went to the other end. So from three or four times, they are probably impatient, and just flew out from the bamboo grove, without leave to fly next to the dilapidated brick wall on the stand, as if said to me: "No playing hide and seek with you, you We do not just want to see who is it? "was originally three red-brown thrush, and their white eyebrow pattern Youcu You long end of the down side is also bent, red-brown neck, thin black vertical pattern clearly visible. This is a few thrush interesting, actually are social, and not "singing" will not be a chick then?
A small bird in front of me Yilue and before, my eyes will follow it and turn, only to see it finally looks like the upper body. It's mouth curved hook-shaped head was dark green, glittering under the sunshine, it seems a little bit reflective, its throat, chest, bright red, white belly. I was the first time I saw it, was not brought maps, own estimates should be some kind of sun, birds or Honeyeater. After returning home over the pages of maps, one would see is the Fork-tailed Sunbird, Oh, can see the new varieties. But at that time did not see the end of its fork, until the New Year we should return to Xiamen three 9:00, and I also pay close attention to the time 8:30 into the mountains, and finally saw it, also look at its thin end of the fork, and this before he plans to run back home by car.
