Most of the birding was from 2,500m (at HQs) to almost 3,000m at the Bai Xiong Gou boardwalk, which is near the Reserve’s boundary with Jiuzhaigou. (marked “Iron Roof House” on the sketch). The habitat includes a lot of bamboo under pines, and some open logged-out areas with scrub. There is good secondary broadleaf woodland next to the river below HQs. Min Shan Chinese endemics include Sooty Tit, Rusty-breasted (Pere David’s) Tit, Snowy-cheeked Laughingthrush and Spectacled Parrotbill.

Access Pingwu is the County Town 平武县. You can get either the direct bus from Chengdu’s Zhao Jue Temple Bus Station 成都 昭觉寺车站 (09:00) or one of many buses from Mianyang 绵阳县 to Pingwu 平武县. However, you need to hire a taxi or minivan to get to the reserve, which is northwest of Pingwu town about 130 km (90km to Baima township 白马藏族 , and 40km from there to the reserve). Wanglang is marked on the 2005 edition of the Nelles “Central China” map, but not as a Nature Reserve. If you need any more details of any part of this report, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
