Reed Parrotbill - A very easy endemic to tick off in China especially if you are in and around Shanghai. The bird can be easily heard n seen given the suitable habitat (Reed beds), irrespective of how small it is. The tricky part is getting a decent shot of the bird. Given their type of habitat and their impatient behavior, i had a hard time photographing them. After acquiring the Canon 6d & 400mm f2.8, i was bit ahead of these funky reed runners.

Chinese Penduline Tit - These are Wintering birds sharing the habitat with Reed Parrotbills. They will be always in a flock of 25+ birds but photographing them is hard as learning Mandarin/Cantonese.

Indeed Tim, Reed Parrotbill is unique among its own family. China has 19 species of Parrotbills out of the 20 species.
