Taiwan Birding Adventure: Island's Endemic Avian Treasures | Episode 1

Join me on an exhilarating journey to Taiwan, a haven for over 30 endemic bird species found exclusively on this island! Despite their similarities to mainland relatives, these avian treasures exhibit unique evolutionary adaptations that set them apart. During my adventure, I had the privilege of capturing footage of 22 endemic species, including elusive rarities such as the Chinese Egret and Nordmann's Greenshank. But that's not all – immerse yourself in Taiwan's culinary scene with tantalizing dishes like savory beef noodles and the infamous stinky tofu. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience as we uncover Taiwan's remarkable avian wonders and delectable cuisine!

The whole video series will be split into three episodes, and this is the first one.
