White Wagtail

Yesterday morning, bird enthusiasts such as Handequan and others were photographing birds at Shuxi Lake when they discovered a rare disabled bird.

'I saw a White Wagtail.' Handequan introduced that according to 'Wuniu' who was nearby, this bird had a disabled toe, so he tracked and took several pictures, recording that this bird was different from the others. It has one toe missing, and the other toe has only two remaining toes (front three, back one).

To the surprise of the bird enthusiasts, despite its severe disability, this White Wagtail was able to walk, jump, and fly normally, which amazed people with the resilience of birds.
