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.

Some are going to profit and many will loose.
It has been discussed within the financial circles since the late 90's and strongly since 2008 although now the US National debt is mainstream news...
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..

Drought gives rise to Jinsha diversion scheme
Posted byI dont think they will pump up mountain ranges, they tunnel and bridge..
The elevation at the point of extraction is the same as kunming's elevation therefore gravity would be at work ....
Big project no doubt but a lot more efficient than cloud seeding..
Snapshot: Fuxian Lake from the air
Posted byThanks bobbles.
Hopefully water quality will remain good for centuries for a few reasons;
Fu xian lake is very deep, 80 to 125 meters.
Fu xian is fed by underground rivers which doesn't have surface pollutants.
The greatest risks to water quality is pesticides/fertilizers which are used in abundance surrounding the lake.

Yunnan's Party Secretary lays out vision for the future
Posted byThe Jinsha River (金沙江) at Benzilan is at an elevation of 1900 meters above sea level, Kunming is at 1900 meters above sea level but it's 1000 km away.
This diversion will take an enormous amount of energy to divert water to Dianchi; let alone the energy to build this monster of a project.
The water going to hundreds of reservoirs makes sense but Dianchi??
Flengs has it right, you cant "control" nature.
