Summer Wong ( Wang Wenjuan / 王文娟 )
After years of working as a local guide for international birding companies such as Birdtour Asia and Birdquest, Summer has turned her strong passion for birding into a career, founded her own birding company and ground agency in 2014, and is now specialized in birding tours to Sichuan, Qinghai, Tibet and Eastern China. While working with many well-known international companies in the field and as a guide, she was able to acquire rich experience in bird life as well as in tourism industry. A tight network with other local birders and guides enables Summer always to be up-to-date with the latest birding information and the recent status of rare species. Hard work on bird sounds, including sound recording and extensive training in listening, made her excellent at identifying birds by song and call. As a dedicated photographer, she has taken all the photos of this website herself, many of them have been uploaded onto ebird website. During the covid, Summer started to lead Chinese birders birding in China and around the world after covid, founded 青鸟自然旅行 China Nature Tours.
Frank Lambert
Frank Lambert presently lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Like most UK bird guides, he started his birding in a young age, and first ventured abroad on a birding trip at age 16. Two days after his 19th birthday, he set out with friends on an epic 8-month overland birding trip from London to the Indian subcontinent via Afghanistan and Iran, thus cementing his unwavering passion for global birding. Since then, Frank has birded most parts of the planet, and has been based in Asia for many years. Birding became his work as well as his hobby, and in 1987 he obtained a PhD from the University of Aberdeen after a 4-year study of fruit-eating birds in Malaysian rain forest. Later he studied birds in logged forests at Danum Valley, Borneo. Frank first worked casually as a bird guide in Asia in the early 1990s, before devoting many years to working primarily for conservation NGOs, mostly in Asia. Whilst based in Asia, Frank has managed to bird widely in the region, as well as further afield. After a period living in South America, Frank eventually returned to live in Malaysia in 2009, and since then has been leading tours to many different countries in the region, including various parts of China. Frank has written more than fifty papers on birds, and is the author of the Pica Press book Pittas, Broadbills and Asities, He has found and described three new birds to science in Asia (two rails and an owl), and co-discovered a new tyrant from Peru. Apart from watching birds, Frank’s main passion is to capture their vocalisations, and he has made sound recordings of more than 3,600 species of bird, the majority of which have been unloaded to the Xeno-canto website.
