Forums > Living in Kunming > Bird watching in Kunming/ Yunnan Hi Alex..
Xi Shan has a few big birds soaring, saw them regularly last year and this year.
Last friday I saw a huge eagle?? bird of prey
We are going to Xi Shan this tuesday and wensday, there should be room for you..
I havent seen any at Fu Xian Hu nor Dali..creepy quiet in the sky considering the lakes are full of fish..
I try to find info from older locals if they used to see birds of prey but my language isnt that good.
Other places I've flown the vulchures, eagles, hawks ect just come over and play...here is a few pics I've had a chance to get as they flew with me for some time.
Nepal is just loaded, it's not uncomon to go up in a thermal with 2 to 6 birds, we often use them as visual markers for the thermals.
