This trip was largely a work trip, but I did get a bit of dedicated birding in at the end of the trip. I also birded a good bit around the area where my work was located. Our plant is in the Hangzhou area, and I had some great birding at Yancheng which is up the coast north of Shanghai. I was in China for 28 days, and though my species list was only a tad over 100, the quality of birds was outstanding.

The fantastic trip to Yancheng at the end was orchestrated by Zhang Lin of http://www.shanghaibirdingtour.com/. He was very patient with my frequent changes of schedule, and was able to accomodate me in the end with a very capable guide, as he was already booked at the time.
