Soya-Do, September 28th-29th

R.Newlin & T. Edelsten. Due to boat times and ticket unavailability, only a brief trip. Of most interest on the 28th were three Amur Falcon overhead, a Common Kestrel and a skulking Siberian Thrush in woods. In the early morning of the 29th Robin Newlin also found a singing Oriental Reed Warbler, Rufous-tailed Robin and Chinese Bulbul.
