Nord-Kina Manchuriet, Happy Island og NØ-Tibet 03.05 27.05 2009 Dansk Ornitologisk Forening Birdlife Denmark og Jesper Hornskov 1
Forord Under min forrige tur til Kina, hvor jeg bl.a. besøgte Manchuriet og den kinesiske nordøstkyst, blev jeg inspireret af de store mængder trækfugle og variationen af østasiatiske rariteter, til at forsøge at lave en DOF-tur. Intentionen var, at man på nogle få uger kunne se næsten alle de arter, som man går og sukker efter på en kold efterårsdag i Danmark. Yderligere ville vi forsøge at tilføre en smagsprøve på, hvad det indre Kina har at byde på, så derfor blev det også muligt at tilvælge en ekstra uge på det tibetanske plateau. I tæt samarbejde med Jesper fik jeg strikket en tur sammen som både ville give et bredt udvalg af østasiatiske trækgæster og en mængde kinesiske specialiteter. Vi synes selv, det lykkedes ganske godt. Vi er begge glade for at turdeltagerne valgte at tro på dette koncept, og med stort engagement og indlevelse gjorde turen til en stor oplevelse for ikke mindst dem selv, men også for Jesper og jeg. Alle takkes for bidrag og medvirken til at vi også på det ornitologiske plan kom i mål med en lang artsliste. Siberian Blue Robin Også en stor tak til Rune, Louise, Jimmy og Lars for selskab og fremvisning af fugle på Happy Island. Turen blev gennemført med et meget højt aktivitetsniveau og vi vil gerne sige jer alle tak for at tage de tidlige morgenafgange, nogle ville kalde det nat, med fantastisk godt humør. 2

3. Maj - Afgang København Afrejse fra Københavns Lufthavn. Alle mødte forventningsfulde OG til aftalt tid... Indcheckning og rejse forløb planmæssigt uden de store genvordigheder. 4. Maj - Ankomst Beijing Vi ankom midt på dagen til Beijing, Kinas hovedstad. Efter at være blevet checket for svineinfluenza af de kinesiske myndigheder, kunne vi alle gå gennem tolden og finde Jesper, der stod udenfor afventende vores ankomst. Fra lufthavnen tog vi direkte til hotellet, og efter en kort reorganisering var vi alle klar til en tur i botanisk have. Det blev til nogle gode timer, hvor de første arter blev noteret. Botanisk Have, Beijing Vel tilbage på hotellet blev der lidt tid til at soignere sig, inden turen gik til en nærliggende restaurant for indtage et velfortjent aftensmåltid. For enkelte var det første gang med kinesisk bestik lidt af en udfordring, men det gik. Obs.

Maj Wild Duck Lake og afrejse fra Beijing med tog til Manchuriet Tidlig morgen klokken ca. 05.00, og inden morgenmaden, drog vi afsted til Wild Duck Lake. Turen derud i minibusser var en oplevelse i sig selv: Med fabelagtige manøvrer snoede chaufførerne sig udenom og indenom store lastbiler, og efter knap et par timers slalomkørsel nåede vi søbredden, hvor vi indtog vores medbragte morgenmad. Der var mange højdepunkter, men de to Reliktmåger var allerbedst de sås kanongodt, havde gang i lidt parringsspil, og fløj et par æresrunder. Efter aftensmaden steg vi på toget, og på 1. klasse med fire m/k per kupé var det såmænd ikke så ringe! Relict Gulls, Black-headed Gull, Little Terns og Common Tern Obs.

Maj - Zhenlai, Tumuji og Momoge Reserve Ikke noget med at sove længe! Det lysnede allerede klokken 03.45... Vinden havde delvist lagt sig, og det var blevet klart og relativt lunt. Der var derfor tidlig afgang til Tumuji i håb om Jankowski s Bunting m.m. Heldet var i den grad med os, for efter lang og intens eftersøgning lykkedes det at finde en enkelt syngende han, måske var det sidste vers den sang? Obs.

Hatten af for det meste holdet, som høfligt smagte på delikatessen. Vi mente ikke, at vi havde fået det hele med omkring traneengene og det var rigtigt!

Inden det blev lyst var det umuligt at vurdere, om det evt. ville klare op. Det gjorde det dog allerede inden solopgang fint fald af fugle! Det blev til en fabelagtig dag med masser ande-, vade- og småfugle. Regn og rusk er ikke altid af det dårlige! Siberian Rubythroat Obs.

Efter overfarten blev vi afhentet af de golfvogne, som vi i løbet af de næste dage fik flere ture i. Det var ikke strengt nødvendigt, men det sparede på skosålerne, og man var vel på ferie!? 13

Så galt gik det ikke, men der var noget at kigge på stort set hvert eneste minut! Enkelte var sidst på dagen lidt for fokuserede på aftensmaden, styrede målrettet mod restauranten og så derfor ikke Black-capped Kingfisher og Striated Heron. Obs.

Den lokale pigegarde kunne ikke komme, men en flot kage blev det da til (det havde vor hjælpsomme lokale minder klaret), og luften i den store spisesal var tyk af bevingede ord og ønsker om many happy returns of the day. Og jo da, vi så også et par fugle! Dagens superhit var en Vestlig Stor Kobbersneppe (den man kender fra Danmark og omegn) flyvende nok så pædagogisk med 20 Østlige Store Kobbersnepper... - det giver åbenbart bedre mening at betragte dem som forskellige arter end racer, og det var, så vidt vi ved, første iagttagelse af den vestlige her på kysten. Klart i erindringen står også 2 Tornhalesejlere der kastede sig rundt i vinden over øen lige efter morgenmaden. God dag! Obs.

Lesser Sand Plovers 18. Maj Den Kinesiske Mur ved Shanhaiguan og ankomst Beijing Efter en god nats søvn besøgte vi den Kinesiske Mur ved Shanhaiguan, kun en times kørsel nord for Beidaihe. Udover at kigge på selve Muren, hvor den forsvinder ind over bjergene på vej mod nord væk fra det flade kystområde, brugte vi tid på at se Vinous-throated Parrotbill, Pere David`s Laughingthrush, Godlewski`s og Meadow Bunting, Chinese Hill Warbler og Alm. Fasan - alle vigtige arter som vi ikke kunne regne med at se andre steder på turen. Vinden var nok ikke helt perfekt, men vi fik da set lidt rovfugletræk alligevel. Vi satte et roligt tempo, og efter en kort vandring ad en ikke-restaureret del af Muren - samt et kig på det lokale tempel - tog nogle stoleliften, mens andre gik ned.

Det blev til en Toyota-buffet à la carte morgenmad, inden vi for alvor gik i felten. Området bød på gran- og birkeskov, samt havtorne(-agtigt) krat med omkransende marker anlagt på små terrasser. Gansu Leaf Warbler var dagens den- SKAL-vi-altså se! -art. Den er først for ganske nyligt blevet accepteret som selvstændig art, og dens vinterkvarter er endnu ukendt.

Maj - Koko Nor mod vest til Chaka via Rubber Mountains Der var igen tidlig afgang, og de fleste af os døsede vist videre i mørket, mens bilerne kørte ud af Xinings gader og videre mod vest. Vi startede dagen ved den berømte brakvandssø Koko Nor og fortsatte, efter rigtig 25
frokost på restaurant, mod ørkenen vest herfor. Velkommen til det tibetanske højplateau! Med en højde på 3200 meter over havet var vi blandt udprægede højlandsarter - fornemst var vel den majestætiske og endemiske Sorthalsede Trane - den kan drille, men i dag sås den uden problemer. Et andet højdepunkt var en forbipasserende Pallas Havørn. Bar-headed geese Koko Nor Obs. Xining - Koko Nor (Qinghai lake) 04.30-07.00 Little Owl 1, Black Redstart 5. Obs.

I passet hoppede et par Henri s Snowfinch rundt og en Lammegrib kom glidende lavt ind over os. Det blev der også lige tid til, inden vi forsatte turen mod Chaka. 26

På vejen lavede vi flere pattedyrs stop for bl.a. at kigge på Tibetan og Goitered Gazelle på stepperne og Blue Sheep på de stejle bjergsider. Det blev også til Kiang - vild æsel - og under det sidste stop inden det gik opad, spottede Jon en ulv; den luntede stille og roligt over steppen og kunne følges i lang tid - ganske vist på nogen afstand men alligevel en rigtig fin obs.
