Trip report by Sandra Harding and David Milton, Burbank, Brisbane, Australia
This was our first trip to China, having had a glimpse of the bird families in a short visit to Korea in April/May 2008. Our plan was to have 28 days in the Chengdu basin and the higher areas of the eastern Tibetan plateau. We flew to China on 18 May 2009 aiming to beat the wet season. From Brisbane our flight on Cathay Pacific went via Hong Kong to Chengdu and we arrived back in Brisbane on 14 June. We meet Roland Zeidler of Western Sichuan Tours (www.wstourix.com) at the airport in Chengdu. He was our tour organiser and driver. Having arrived in Chengdu at lunch time we started the drive to Emei, stopping along the way to start working out the birds. Dave and I found a Long-billed Plover along a river just out of Chengdu and a few open country species before we got to Emei. Even as we were driving we were noting that the birds were few and not easily seen. As it turned out we found the birding was hard work throughout the trip and we spent quite a few hours looking without always being rewarded.
Our itinerary was varied and provided lots of places to look for birds. In this report I will give a short overview of each of the different areas we visited with the full bird list at the end.
Emei Shan – We stayed at a pleasant hotel and ate across the road. Part of the arrangement was that we paid for Roland’s and our accommodation and food. So we were happy to stay in small hotels and eat local food (without eating wild birds and offal). Roland estimated US$60 per day overall and this worked out to be the case. Emei Shan is a tourist destination so we were keen to avoid the main tourist tracks. We also started to get some rain. Our birding was at different altitudes along the trail up the mountain, at the top and we birded some roads that went up the side valleys. The entrance fee to Emei Shan park was 150 yuan per person per day (Aus $30) where we had one day. I realised how much the calf muscles are used after walking up and down all those concrete steps.
Some of the birds we saw were Brownish-flanked Bush-Warbler, Aberrant Bush-Warbler, Yellowish-bellied Bush-Warbler, Manchurian Bush-Warbler, White-browed Tit-Warbler, Buff-barred Warbler, Pallas’s Leaf-Warbler, Emei Leaf-Warbler, Rufous-faced Warbler, Golden Bush-Robin, Slaty-backed Forktail, Hwamei, White-browed Laughingthrush, Elliot’s Laughingthrush, Red-winged Laughingthrush, White-collared Yuhina, Vinous-throated Parrotbill, StriatedYuhina, Black-throated Tit, Rufous-breasted Tit, Coal Tit, Green-backed Tit, Eurasian Treecreeper, Eurasian Jay, Vinaceous Rosefinch and Dark-rumped Rosefinch.
Wawu Shan – At the start of the park we birded along the road where the coniferous forest reminded me of an enchanted forest, quite like the trees in Lord of the Rings. At our hotel we tried the local alcoholic drink. This was pure alcohol with animal or plants preserved within the drink (Gouji). Wawyu is salamander in spirits. We avoided any of the drinks with animals or animal parts in them. After driving to the end of the road, we took the cable car to the summit. We had one night at the base of the cable car. The English translations on the road signs warning drivers to slow down on corners were quite amusing.
We added Crested Goshawk, Chinese Sparrowhawk, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Common Buzzard, Lady Amherst’s Pheasant (female crossing road), Fork-tailed Swift, House Swift, Darjeeling Woodpecker (for David), White-backed Woodpecker, Bay Woodpecker, Brown Dipper, Large-billed Leaf-Warbler, White-spectacled Warbler, Grey-sided Bush-Warbler, Lemon-rumped Warbler, Verditer Flycatcher, White-bellied Redstart, Rusty Laughingthrush, Emei Shan Liocichla, Red-billed Leiothrix, Streak-throated Fulvetta, Black-chinned Yuhina, Great Parrotbill, Grey-headed Parrotbill, Ashy-throated Parrotbill, Great Barbet, Fulvous Parrotbill, Sichuan Treecreeper, Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird, Red-billed Blue Magpie and Slaty Bunting.
Laba He – We arrived in Laba He quite late (2300 h) after delays on the way due to road works. We had roasted duck on the way, head and all. We stayed in very nice cabins in the park which is privately run. The Laba River is a beautiful clear fast-flowing river and we ate looking down on the river and enjoyed a whole fresh fish for a lunch. From here we started getting out the jumpers and needed warm clothes for the rest of the trip. We had a quick view of a male Lady Amherst’s Pheasant and the new birds for the trip included: We heard a Pygmy Wren-Babbler which Roland tracked down.
Chinese Pond-Heron, Black-capped Kingfisher, Pygmy Wren-babbler, Rufous-bellied Niltava, White-browed Bush-Robin, White-capped Water-Redstart, Streak-breasted Scimitar-Babbler, Rufous-capped Babbler, Golden-breasted Fulvetta, Grey-crested Tit, Chestnut-flanked White-eye, Spotted Nutcracker and Grey-headed Bullfinch.
Moxi – To reach Moxi we left the Sichuan Basin though a tunnel in the Minya Konka Mountain to the most eastern side of the Tibetan High Plateau. From a raining leafy forest area you come out of the tunnel into dry grassland. We stayed in a youth hostel in town and drove out each day. We managed to get a rice mixture wrapped in leaves from a restaurant to take for lunch. As I am a coeliac we could not have bread. We walked on a small road up a valley out of Moxi until we reached a landslide which I was not brave enough to cross. A glacier was visible about a day’s walk further up the valley. The vegetation was low and thick on the steep sides of the valley but would all have been heavily logged. Not many birds to add:
Common Cuckoo (Eurasian), Citrine Wagtail, Brown-breasted Bulbul, Buff-throated Warbler, Alstrom’s Warbler, Daurian Redstart, Siberian Stonechat, Yellow-bellied Fantail, Black-streaked Scimitar-Babbler, Chinese Babax, Grey-backed Shrike, Ashy Drongo, Black-billed Magpie, Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker, Marsh Tit, Russet Sparrow, Beautiful Rosefinch and Yellow-throated Bunting.
Tibetan Plateau – We travelled up a long valley to a pass (4000m) then down to Kangding. An overturned truck just before Kangding blocked the road for a short period but it wasn’t long before cars could get through. The rough mountain roads were regularly blocked on one lane due to landslides which we got used to but this made the driving more dangerous. We stayed in a new Tibetan style house, and ate a meal prepared on the wood stove in the kitchen which was in a separate building. The toilet and wash basin were also separate to where we slept. There was no hot water; the family went to hot springs to bathe. We tried the Tibetan tea made on yak’s milk which was good, and the family were very keen hosts. It was warm in the kitchen and to sit around the stove was the place where everyone gathered. From Kangding we went through several mountain passes always hopeful to find the high altitude birds but it always snowed. We saw our first yaks on the way to the Monastery at Bamei. We stayed in the monastery and were well cared for by the Llama and Roland’s wife who was doing voluntary teaching at the monastery. We went to Mengbi Shan pass above a small village (Lianghe) near Xiao Jin and stayed in a hotel. In Xiao Jin we posted the cards that we had collected as national park receipts to our friends and family. These were the only ‘post cards’ that we had seen. Even to get the correct priced stamps was difficult, but when we got home we were happy to find out that they had all arrived.
We had considered going to Balang Pass and camping up there but it would have been very cold and foreigners were not supposed to go be going up there due to major delays from road works. Our next site was Lianghe where we stayed at a government guesthouse. Many of the buildings in Lianghe were still being rebuilt from the earthquake. A statue of Mao was a major tourist attraction. We walked along quiet roads and stayed in people’s houses to get out of the rain. Birding was hard in the cold wet weather, with snow on the higher slopes, but we did see a Great Bittern. We were offered a stuffed White-eared Pheasant but we did not see a live one. We stayed in a very pretty village in Choktse in a farmer’s house which had improvements to cater for visitors. The bedrooms were up a steep set of stairs, half way between stairs and a ladder. We birded the forested areas along a river valley, but the area had been logged.
Birds included Lammergeier, Himalayan Griffon, Golden Eagle, Peregrin Falcon, Hill Pigeon, Snow Pigeon, Horned Lark, Eurasian Crag Martin, Three-toed Woodpecker, Olive-backed Pipet, Goldcrest, White-throated Dipper, Winter Wren, Blue Rock-thrush, Kessler’s Thrush, Chinese Thrush (for me), Crested Tit-Warbler, Dusky Warbler, Thick-billed Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler, Korean Flycatcher, Orange-flanked Bush-Robin, Hodgson’s Redstart, White-throated Redstart, Blue-fronted Redstart, Hill Blue Flycatcher, Giant Laughingthrush, White-browed Fulvetta, Chinese Babax (for me), White-browed Tit, Sichuan Jay, Red-billed Chough, Daurian Jackdaw, Collared Crow, Twite, Plain Mountain Finch, Common Rosefinch, Pink-rumped Rosefinch, White-browed Rosefinch, Streaked Rosefinch, White-winged Grosbeak and Godlewski’s Bunting.
Zoige area – The area around Zoige is characterised by flat short grassland. We stayed in a hotel about 10 km from a famous bend in the Yellow River (Huange He) and one night camping at Flower Lake. I bought my souvenir for the trip at Flower Lake, saddlebags for my horse made of yak’s wool from a boy who had made them for his horse. We had car trouble near here and had to be towed back to Zoige, where we had the distributor replaced. We extended the bird list with waterbirds and waders.
Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, Greylag Goose, Ruddy Duck, Mallard, Eurasian Teal, Ferruginous Pochard, Long-legged Buzzard, Upland Buzzard, Common Kestrel, Saker Falcon, Common Pheasant, Black-necked Crane, Eurasian Coot, Lesser Sand Plover, Greater Sandplover, Common Redshank, Green Sandpiper, Brown-headed Gull, Common Tern, Red-collared Dove, Eurasian Collared Dove, White-winged Tern, Black-winged Stilt, Curlew Sandpiper, Red-necked Pharalope, Whiskered Tern, Common Hoopoe, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Tibetan Lark, Greater Short-toed lark, Oriental Skylark, Pale Martin, Eastern Yellow Wagtail, Rosy Pipit, Black Redstart, White-winged Redstart, Plain Laughingthrush (Pere David’s), Azure-winged Magpie, Hume’s Groundpecker, Rock Sparrow, Tibetan Snowfinch and White-rumped Snowfinch
Langmu Monastery – We stayed in a hotel in Tagtshang Lhamo and birded the valleys above the Monastery, which included a pretty flowing stream and coniferous forest on the surrounding mountains. The pressure was on to see another pheasant and we were up early each day looking. We heard a Wallcreeper in the head of the valley and had brief non-tickable views of the bird.
Osprey, Cinereous Vulture, Feral Pigeon, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Water Pipet, Maroon-backed Accentor (for David), Ashy-throated Warbler, White-cheeked Nuthatch, Wallcreeper, Carrion Crow, Three-banded Rosefinch and Long-tailed Rosefinch,
Baxi – In Baxi we stayed at a homestay in a Tibetan village. Roland had word of a Eurasian Eagle Owl roosting along a small eroded creek and we had good views across the gully using the telescope. We also had good views of several Common Pheasant in nearby fields.
Common Goldeneye, Common Merganser, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Chinese Bush-Warbler, Two-barred Warbler (Two-barred greenish), Rufous-headed Robin, Asian Brown Flycatcher.
Jiuzhuaigou - We had the most snow of the trip on the pass travelling to Jiuzhuaigou. At one point we turned the car around and considered getting chains on the wheels. We had one night in the Jiuzhuaigou town.
Wanglang – On the way up to Wanglang a male Blood Pheasant crossed the road in the rain. We drove back a small distance and the bird came out onto the road on the next bend – we felt we were in birding heaven. We had two nights at Wanglang National Park before driving to Pingwu (one night) and then back to Chengdu (one night) for our flight home the next morning. At Wanglang we ate the same meals prepared for the staff. On our first morning we walked up the slope behind the accommodation and on the ridge was an amazingly big bird, a Blue Eared-Pheasant. Just as the trip was finishing we succeeded in seeing a fantastic male Eared-Pheasant and we even had a number of views.
Northern Goshawk, Besra, Blood Pheasant, Blue Eared-Pheasant, Collared Owlet, Crested Kingfisher, Horsefields Cuckoo, Short-billed Minivet, Chinese Leaf-Warbler, Ferruginous Flycatcher, Indian Blue Robin, Blue-and-white Flycatcher (for me), Scaly-breasted Wren-Babbler, Three-toed Parrotbill (for me), Sooty Tit, Songar Tit (Willow Tit), Grey-capped Greenfinch, Tibetan Siskin, Dark-breasted Rosefinch.
The highlights of the trip were the trip total of 281 including 102 new birds. We felt like we wanted to go back to look for more pheasants and will have to keep this in mind for future trips. The Rosefinchs, Laughingthrushes and Parrotbills were the characteristic birds for this part of China. We might not remember all the warblers but the mountain scenery and snow will be a long-lasting memory. Thanks to Roland Zeidler for taking care of our needs and helping us to see the birds.
