The bustling Guanting Reservoir has recently quieted down. The frozen area is getting bigger and bigger, and most of the migratory birds have flown away to spend the winter in the warmer south. Occasionally, migratory birds step on the ice and make a ** sound, and suddenly take off into the air and fly towards the south and southwest.
The scenery after the snow is breathtaking. "When the swans take off, it's like dancing ballet on the snow. Li Li, director of the Black Panther Wildlife Protection Station, said that in the past autumn, the migratory birds were well fed and fat in the reservoir area of the Guanting Reservoir, "We monitored a total of 4There are 80,000 migratory birds, most of which are geese and ducks, as well as wading birds such as cranes. ”
Next, the migratory birds that have fallen behind due to their weak physique and relatively young age will also be in the reservoir area for a period of time. They form small groups that snuggle together for warmth and protection from predators. When they have gained more energy, they will continue to fly south. Of course, there will also be sporadic populations of migratory birds that choose to move in Beijing.
In recent days, the temperature at Guanting Reservoir at night has been about minus 9 degrees Celsius. The team members of the protection station also began to pack their bags, dismantle the infrared surveillance cameras to prevent poaching, and return to the station. Their job is about to shift from monitoring migratory birds to daily patrolling.
Li Li said that with the improvement of people's awareness of protection, poaching has not been found in recent years. However, the team members stopped several photographers who were chasing the birds. "Hope they're doing well in the South!See you next year!”
