They Brought Spring to Yinchuan!
Spring is approaching
Migratory birds are returning
The 'cuties' familiar to Yinchuan residents have returned!
Whenever entering spring
The lakes and wetlands of Yinchuan will welcome numerous migratory birds to rest
Adding a touch of spirituality to Yinchuan's spring
In recent years
Yinchuan has been increasing its efforts to ecological governance and construction
Numerous migratory birds choose to stopover and reside here
Presenting a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature
Yinchuan is China's westernmost and East Asia-Australia important migratory route and habitat breeding ground
Currently there are 241 species of wild birds, including 6 national level protected animals and 19 national level protected animals
Now Yinchuan, lakes and wetlands are scattered
Birds flying in flocks
Making people linger
As a ecological lake city
The various wild bird populations living here are increasingly diverse
And their numbers have been increasing year by year
Around March and April, with the return of warmer temperatures and the melting of snow and ice, migratory birds will begin their northward migration. The Yinchuan wetlands, formed by the Yellow River through the Ningxia Plain, are one of the important habitats along the migratory routes of these birds
According to incomplete statistics, there are about 120,000 migratory birds that 'vacation' in Yichun's beach park every spring, of which more than 70,000 briefly rest in the lakes and wetlands, and then continue to fly north, while the remaining 50,000 migratory birds will stay here to 'settle down'
Observe
This year, the first migratory birds arriving in the water
Or playfully playing in the water
Or diving to hunt for fish
Love for birds can be
But most birds are sensitive and timid
Before observing, you should first understand their habits
If you love them, you should give them space
The following
Birdwatching guide
Everyone please keep it
Most birds arrive between late April and early May, at this time you can see birds building nests, incubating eggs, residing and breeding, playing in the water and flying
But you must not disturb the mother bird, otherwise it may abandon its offspringDuring the day, birds are most active in the morning and evening, tourists should not miss this prime viewing timeWhen observing, pay attention to the climate and equipment, the outdoor ultraviolet rays are relatively strong, and don't forget to bring suitable clothes and sunscreen, hats and other items; it's best not to wear brightly colored clothes, if you wear camouflage, it will be more 'friendly'; bring a 7-10x binoculars is a good choice
Photographers can also bring the necessary lenses and tools to capture the most exciting moments of the birds' activity
Here, we also remind all little friends
Because wild birds
After a long flight
May carry some sources of infection and diseases
So when contacting wild birds
Maintain a certain distance
Of course, you must also wear a mask and gloves
