The Crested Ibis was rediscovered, after being feared extinct in the wild, in a remote region of north-central China (Mark Beaman)
Our Northern China itinerary will be significantly revised as of 2013 and incorporate some exciting new locations and specialities. The new tour details will be available here by May 2012.
It will continue to feature Crested Ibis, Brown Eared Pheasant, Grey-sided Thrush, Green-backed Flycatcher and Jankowski's Bunting, as well as the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors
The near-endemic Chinese Nuthatch is amongst a host of great birds on this tour (Mark Beaman)
Watching the Crested Ibis in Shaanxi Province (Mark Beaman)
The woodlands of Shaanxi hold the stunning Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Mark Bea an)
While further north it is replaced by the localized, breeding-endemic Green-backed or Elisa's Flycatcher (Mark Beaman)
The smart Chinese Goshawk is a summer visitor to the woodlands of eastern China (Mark Beaman)
With just a tiny range in the surviving forests of the Beijing region, the Grey-sided Thrush is one of China's rarest birds (Mark Beaman)
Manchurian Bush Warbler is a giant in comparison with its sibling, the Japanese Bush Warbler (Mark Beaman)
We even get the chance to see the famous Terracotta Warriors near Xian, 'a sight well worth the coming to see' as Dr Johnson would have said (Mark Beaman)
And, of course, no visit to Northern China would be complete without a stop at the Great Wall (Mark Beaman)
