Zhejiang Province is located in eastern China with a topography including mountains, hills, plains, basins, rivers, lakes and islands and a rugged coastline that faces the South China Sea. Zhejiang has a population of over 65 million people and Hangzhou is its capital city. The province is also a great place for birds with over 400 bird species, including China endemic birds such as the Cabot’s Tragopan and Elliot’s Pheasant, the critically endangered Chinese Crested Tern which breeds in Zhejiang, and birds of note during my trip in September 2021 include the Short-tailed Parrotbill, Speckled Piculet and the Rufous-faced Warbler.

浙江省位于中国东部，地形复杂多样，由山地、丘陵、平原、盆地、河流、湖泊和岛屿构成，海岸线曲折，面靠中国南海。浙江省拥有6500余万人口，省会城市是杭州。与此同时，浙江省还拥有400余种鸟类，包括中国特有的黄腹角雉、白颈长尾雉，以及栖息于浙江的极危物种中华凤头燕鸥。2021年9月的这趟旅行有不少引人注目的鸟儿，包括短尾鸦雀、斑姬啄木鸟以及棕脸鹟莺等.
