Tibetan fox
The recent Greentours trip to Qinghai and Sichuan was a great success. We were lucky to have Jeff Blincow on board and his hard work as a photographer produced some great photos (and great bird records). Jeff is a bit cagey about releasing his images for general consumption but if you are in the UK he is on the bird talk circuit so why not book him for your bird club meetings. All the photos in this post are his! Jeff certainly inspired me for one and I have just bought a 300mm lens for my D7. Slippery slope...
You can see more photos from the participants of the tour in the Greentours gallery.
More photos of Przewalski's pinktail - it is just a stunning bird!
Pinktail
The male Stolizcka's tit-warbler, just amazing and common too.
One of the must-see endemic species on the Tibetan plateau is the Hume's groundpecker - fortunately rather common in habitat.
I finally saw Lady Amherst's pheasant at Laba He, ending a 29-year quest to see all the birds in the front section of the old Shell guide!
Jeff gripped the hell out of us at Laba He, he spent a lot of time on his own wandering about and finding gems like this grey-hooded parrotbill.
