Ibisbill and mandarin ducks in China

This 2010 video says about itself:

Still 6 April 2018 in Shaanxi province in China. After the birds we saw in the morning, in the afternoon we went in search of this rare species, the ibisbill.

We looked at a river bank, where the ibisbill may live. We did not see it, though we did see sixteen black-winged stilts.

At 16:35, we did see two ibisbills at the opposite bank.

On this photo, a grey wagtail to the right of the ibisbill.

They were feeding and cleaning their feathers.

A common sandpiper kept an ibisbill company.

We saw five mandarin ducks as well, both males and females. This male was on the opposite river bank.

Stay tuned, there will be more on birds in China!
