Spring migration work in Napu for 2025 (update2)

Author(s): Chris Hassell, Katherine Leung, Yang Liu

After reading the last update you probably got the impression that we were wandering around birdwatching non-stop. Well, there was a bit of that for sure. But then the tides turned in favour of scanning and we are on a run of 7 days of 03:30 alarms. Which gives time to make coffee and drive to the Nanpu seawall before sunrise. 2025 05 15 The weather plays a big part in the success of a morning’s scanning and we have had everything from clam sunny days to a rainstorm and one day with 60 kmph wind! That was bad for scanning but great for watching passerine migration. Our eBird list for that day on the seawall was 77 species. The highlight was 30 Critically Endangered, Yellow-breasted Bunting both flying by and landing on the seawall.
