Bird-Photo-Tour Asia\u2019s Taiwan photography adventure explores an island that is still not that well-established on the world birding map, yet is a place with one of the highest concentrations of endemic birds in Asia. Our Bird-Photo-Tour offers a comprehensive coverage of the island and the opportunity for close photographic encounters with Taiwan\u2019s 30 endemic bird species, including Mikado and Swinhoe\u2019s Pheasants, as well as the rare and beautiful Collared Bush Robin and Taiwan Rosefinch. Two hundred kilometres off the eastern coast of Mainland China lies the island of Taiwan. Known to the ancient Chinese, attracted by tales of its natural wealth, as \u2018Bao Dao\u2019 or \u2018Treasure Island\u2019 and known by the Portuguese as \u2018Isla Formosa\u2019 or \u2018Beautiful Island\u2019, this mountainous, picturesque, subtropical island set in the South China Sea is a prosperous place with a highly educated population and a well-developed infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the bird\u00a0photographer, Taiwan has a great deal to offer. Most exciting of all are the many endemic species,\u00a0most\u00a0of which are\u00a0especially\u00a0attractive\u00a0such as the multi-coloured Taiwan Barbet or the handsome Steere\u2019s Liocichla. The itinerary for this Bird Photo Tour\u00a0has been carefully\u00a0designed by Bird-Photo-Tours Asia to allow the bird photographer long enough at key locations to obtain portrait quality images of this island\u2019s special birds. Several of\u00a0Taiwan\u2019s\u00a0endemics are\u00a0either\u00a0quite localized or very shy,\u00a0such as Rusty Laughingthrush, Flamecrest or Taiwan Partridge and therefore\u00a0requires\u00a0time and effort\u00a0to ensure these species are captured on film. Bird Phot Tours Asia\u2019s specially tailored itinerary, led by its experienced Tour Leader and accompanied by its local network of guides, all skilled in the needs of the photographer, are factors that combine well to ensure that the bird photographer returns back to his \/ her hometown armed with portrait-quality images of the Birds of Taiwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
