NE CHINA

We visited North East China in May 2001 on a Sunbirder trip to Beidaihe and Happy Island. The leaders were Paul Holt and James Lidster and there were 17 other birders on the trip including our friend Keith Corbett. We personally recorded 226 species even though the weather was anti-cyclonic and not conducive to any large falls.
