Birds of China - Xin Jiang（新疆）- Day 1 Empty Birds of China - Xin Jiang（新疆）- Day 1

Post by Mr No Good Tue May 22, 2012 11:05 pm

After about 12 hours of waiting, transiting, flying of some 5000km...we finally landed in Urumqi, our familiar "lamb town"...we smell lamb Razz Razz ...Not many lifers in this trip but lots of improvement shots.

Not many surprise in 1st day...we when to a place “白湖”. Here is where we got the White Headed Duck. But sad to see in this visit they are having construction all over the place...next year maybe no more ducks around...

1. Little Ring Plover (金眶鴴）- in breeding colors and nesting everywhere.

2. Black Necked Grebe（黑颈鸊鷉）- Got this from very far away Disappointed

3. Ruddy Shelduck （赤麻鸭）- Quite a strange pose for us...

4. Rock Sparrow （石雀）- Quantity has become less compared to two years ago when we 1st visit.

We spent about only 3 hours shooting while waiting for Nelson....

And this is where we tasted the most yummy 手抓饭 (Nelson missed this...)。。。 Bird On Head maybe Makus got some photos..and I only have this.. Big Head

Thanks Tou...

We traveled another 300++km from Urumqi(乌鲁木齐) to Karamay (克拉玛依) . We arrived at about 7pm and had another 2 hours of shooting before sunset...really having fun with this couple before we end day 1.

5. Bearded Reedling - male

D4 no problem...just that later I found out D800 more powerful.

We ended day 1 with supper hungry and tired at about 9:30pm.

Dinner time....
