Wild Beijing – part 3: Birding in Beijing

The last thing you would expect to find in an ever-expanding city like Beijing is Wildlife. But it's here!

In fact Beijing has a greater variety of bird species than London, New York and Paris.

This 8 part series will explore Beijing's wildlife and the people trying to conserve it.

In Part 3 We meet Fu Jianping, president of the Beijing Bird Watching Society who guides us through the Olympic forest park, giving an insight into Bird watching in the green lung of China's capital city.
