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.

Once the US dollar looses it's position as the world base currency things will dramaticly change..how?? Hell if I know.. but I know opertunities will arise..

How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者Peter99
Yeah we still have em....later in May/June as the humidity increases.
Cumulus Cloud formations will still occur although with added polution.....
The convection(created by the sun on earth's surface) that creates these clouds are invisible, if the humidity is low( dry air) the cloud won't form but the convection is still there pumping polluted air high in the sky, then it drifts away with the prevailing winds, hence the reason Kunming's air is cleaner late in the day..
If you observe Kunming's air quality in the morning, its the pollution accumulated over the past 8 to 10 hours.It's worse when the prevailing winds are calm and the atmosphere is stable.

How bad is Kunming's air?
发布者Where are the testing samples taken?? south of the city would be cleaner than center and north east
Late afternoon air quality is better because of convection between surface air and higher elevation air, polluted hot air on the surface rises to 1500 meters from ground then winds blow it eastwards.
