On this weekend trip we visited the wetlands on the coast at Beidaihe, on the shores of the Yellow Sea. Every summer and autumn many species of migratory birds pass through the area, making it a great spot for a bird watching visit.
With the help of birding expert Terry Townsend we spotted 67 species of birds – including a Spoonbill – as we moved between Terry’s five favorite spots in the wetlands and on the seashores.
