This was a spare day due to flight issues and an ideal time to rest, so of course we crammed in some last minute birding despite heavy rain showers hampering us. In fact we didn’t get out until late morning, apart from one aborted attempt when we were tracking down a Siberian Long-tailed Rosefinch only for the skies to open and we narrowly avoided a drenching. Eventually the weather did clear and we saw a flyover Amur Falcon, flocks of Hawfinches and White-cheeked Starlings, Daurian Jackdaw, and finally the views we wanted of a pair of Siberian Long-tailed Rosefinches and a pair of Azure Tits.

The latter two species showed incredibly well in one small area and needless to say we were elated. And that was us done! One last dinner and some beers before we set of on our respective journeys back to the UK and USA tomorrow morning.
