Peak passage of Little Bunting (Emberiza pusilla 小鹀 Xiǎo wú) is in late April and early May in Beijing. This is one of over 100 on the patch this morning.
9.3 TRILLION insects found migrating at night above agricultural China! Some of these insects are pests, but many play vital positive ecological roles e.g. pollination, decomposition, & nutrient transfer which could be vital to soil health in the region! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
@terrytownshend @France_en_Chine @francediplo @GMortonNZ @Laurence_Beau @MFATNZ Great initiative- @terrytownshend something that could be done in the French embassy in UB with their beautiful HUGE garden. Please connect with @SebastienSurun 🙌🙌🙌🥳
A privilege to visit the Jiushan Islands off Zhejiang Province, one of the breeding sites of the critically endangered Chinese Crested Tern, once thought to be possibly extinct but now recovering, thanks to local conservation efforts. @GeelyAutoGlobal youtube.com/watch?v=kpC6gD…
The 'polaris' Pallas's Reed Buntings (Emberiza pallasi 苇鹀 Wěi wú) on the local patch are looking good and some are starting to sing... soon they'll be off to Siberia to breed.
Ambassador Derwin and her team at the Irish Embassy have been wonderful champions of the #AmbassadorsForNature initiative in Beijing. Not only does their compound look great, it supports a fabulous range of biodiversity, too!

Quick update on the two buddy Bar-tailed Godwits. After Borneo, they continued flying together, & landed around Shanwei City in Guangdong on Apr 15. One (red) departed Apr 19 & now in Hangzhou Bay, while pink one left Apr 20 and now in Shanghai. So sad they parted ways so early!

Celebrating #EarthDay by honoring #Mongolia's inspiring #womenrangers; Byambajav from Gobi Altai, protecting snowleopard habitats. In Mongolia 11% of rangers are women, patrolling 100s km per month. Thx @snowleopards for inviting us & @FionaBlythUK & @SebastienSurun for roaring.
Congratulations to @TheEconomist 's Ted Pflaker on receiving a copy of the Birds of Beijing after @rasbjchina 's birding trip to Shahe Reservoir, having beaten off all competition to win the end of trip quiz!
A 2cy Eastern Marsh Harrier (Circus spilonotus 白腹鹞 Bái fù yào) at Yeyahu, Yanqing District, on Sunday. EMH is a summer breeder in Beijing, arriving from late March.
Great job by @WAB_LIVE students and teachers, cleaning up more than 30 bags of litter from the Wenyu River for #EarthDay2024 . Thanks to the Beijing Water Bureau for their support.
Androsace incana, Changping, Beijing, photoed today. @BirdingBeijing
Possibly Beijing's 2nd ever Fujian Niltava (Niltava davidi 棕腹大仙鹟 Zōng fù dàxiān wēng) was found in Longtan Park yesterday and was still on site today.
Two male Pallas's Reed Bunting (Emberiza pallasi 苇鹀 Wěi wú) of different races on the patch, separated on call - polaris (left) and lydiae.
Volume up! Lucky to record a group of 4 Little Curlew (Numenius minutus 小杓鹬 Xiǎo biāo yù) as they migrated overhead at the ChaoBai River this morning. A lovely 'curlew-ey' rising call.
Happy to find a new site close to my apartment for the critically endangered Libellula angelina dragonfly. On the wing for only 2-3 weeks in April and early May, it's a species that can easily evade detection. Two on site today; hopefully more will emerge in the next few days.
Carpets of Umbelled Rockjasmine (Androsace umbellata 点地梅 Diǎn de méi) are in bloom right now in Beijing. Look for it in sunny, open areas.
2 more Bar-tailed Godwits on the move! And they decided to fly together all the way from Broome to Borneo (&continuing). The only way to tell that there are 2 tracks in the map below is the non-overlapping portion in the lower 1/3 of the track, due to different logging intervals

Tory privatisation of vital public service like trains was always a terrible idea. Glad there's one nightmare Tory policy Labour will commit to reverse. But why won’t they extend the same logic to the obvious shitshow that is our water? Bring that back into public hands too Keir!
