The 3rd Dongtinghu Lake Birding Race is held on December 3rd – 5th, in Yueyang City, Hunan province, China. More than 20 teams from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan are participating in this competition. The birding race starts from 16:30, December 3rd, and ends at 16:40, December 4th.

Dongtinghu Lake is located on the lower basin of Changjiang River, and is one the five big freshwater lakes in China. Dong Dongtinghu National Nature Reserve is among the 21 wetland nature reserves of international importance designated by Chinese government and included in the Ramsar Converntion wetland list. It is an important wintering ground as well as breeding site and passage area for wetland water birds. Millions of water birds appear here each year, and 234 species (under 16 Orders and 43 Families) have been recorded to date.

The 1st national birding race of Mainland China was held at Dong Dongtinghu Lake NR in December, 2002, with 12 birding teams participating. In December 2003, 17 teams got together for the 2nd Dongting Hu Birding Race. In this 3rd Dongting Hu Lake Birding Race, some new sessions such as exhibition of bird photos and symposiums on special topics are added, which will better promote the birding competition to be a precious opportunity for communication among Chinese birdwatchers. Records submitted by all teams are to undergo strict evaluations, and will therefore contribute valuable scientific bird records to the reserve after the competition.
