Jianfengling National Forest Park, Hainan, China 中国 海南省 尖峰岭国家森林公园
SPECIES LIST
 
Species number and English names mainly according to Mackinnon, J. and Phillipps,K, (2000) A field guide to the Birds of China.  Where “splits” have occurred the China Bird Reports, 2003,4 & 5 are followed.  The Garrulax laughingthrushes are now split into several families, for simplicity I have retained the Mackinnon and Phillipps names.
