Northern Wren Troglodytes troglodytes LT—not uncommon migrant and winter visitor, earliest date 10 October. H—two autumn records: 21st and 24 October, in separate years. COE—four individuals, 4-17 April.
1986: 13 bird-days were logged from 13 October to the end of the survey; it appears that nine birds were involved. One at EG on 13th and 16 October was not followed until 29th and 30th when one was at LH. Four individuals were recorded over 4-13 November, at Se, LH and EG, and it seems likely that records from 17-20 November at EG, WH and Se involved another three birds.
1987: 86 bird-days, 8 October to the end of the survey; 46 bird-days between 22 October and 10 November; highest day totals seven on 24 October and six on 6 November.
1988 (Ho): 15 bird-days, 17 October to the end of the survey.
1989: 77 bird-days, 8 October to 16 November; highest day total nine on 23 October.
1990: before 23 October, six bird-days, highest day total three on 21 October. From 23 October, 35 bird-days, throughout the period; highest day total five on 30 October and 4 November.
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris erythropygia LT—apparently a common bird in the mountains; a number shot near Shanhaiguan in winter. H—no records. COE—one or two birds, 21 April to 3 May. Ch—breeds and winters in Hebei; status: fairly common.
1986: 104 bird-days were logged from 29 September to 17 November. The main period of occurrence was 3-19 October, when 59 bird-days were logged, and the maximum day count—nine birds—was made on 8th. A further 24 bird-days were logged during the rest of October and 20 during November. Other than one flying south over YH, all records were from LH, with 74 recorded flying south.
1987: 259 bird-days, 14 October to 14 November; 233 were recorded flying south, including 170 on 3 November.
1988 (Ho): at least 28 bird-days, 4 October to 16 November.
1989: 43 bird-days (four flew south), 11 October to 14 November; highest day total ten (at LH) on 17 October.
1990: one was seen on 14th and six on 15 October.
Siberian Accentor Prunella montanella LT—winter visitor, migration in November. H—winter visitor, earliest date 25 October. COE—recorded to 21 April; common at beginning of survey period.
1986: 866 bird-days, 8 October to the end of the period. Before 26 October, 62 bird-days were logged; from this date to 6 November, the period of main passage, 428 bird-days were logged, and the maximum day total was 111 on 1 November (106 were recorded from LH, flying south). A further 190 bird-days were logged from 7-13 November, and 122 during the last week of the study (when only nine were recorded flying south, and up to 22 present in a day). From the beginning of passage to around the middle of November, often noted passing south—515 were recorded from the LH watchpoint.
1987: 1899 bird-days (1502 flew south), 4 October to the end of the survey; highest day totals 135 on 30th, 205 on 31 October, 142 on 4th, 200 on 5th, 195 on 7th and 155 on 11 November; no actively migrating birds noted after 16 November, when highest day total 23 on 21st and 28th.
1988 (Ho): 173 bird-days, 6 October to 18 November.
1989: 823 bird-days (530 flew south), 9 October to 16 November; 323 flew south during 28 October to 1 November; highest day total of birds present 46 on 9 November.
1990: before 23 October, 21 bird-days. From 23 October, 247 bird-days (183 were recorded flying south), to the end of the survey; highest day totals of birds flying south 16 on 26 October, 21 on 1st, 63 on 2nd and 40 on 3 November, and of birds present 11 on 4th and 11 November.
