Bird paradise, Kunming, Yunnan, China

Trip to Kunming, Yunnnan

Despite continued autumn rain, I spent 5 days in Kunming hoping to see some new bird species to add on my China birdlist. I was suffering a little for altitude of prox. 1,800 metre here, minor headache, sore throat. I couldn't be happier when I was taken to a spot where a holiday resort for 'the working class' was situated at outskirt Kunming. I have to say it was a beautiful place, serene, peaceful, mostly it was full of birds. It was surrounded by mountains, trees, facing to the Dianchi Lake, away from human population. The rain has continued from last night in Kunming. When I got up in the morning I didn't have any hope for the rain to stop. As the schedule has been set from last night that I will be shown around the holiday resort. After 30 minutes drive from Kunming, we arrived at this beautiful resort to my delight. When I heard various bird calls, I was quite excited. To our surprise, the rain has not fallen in this area.  The weather was over-casted but no rain. Yes!
My bird list: 1. Black-throated Bushtit 2. Long-tailed Shrike 3.
