Lao Niu went all the way west to the west of Yunnan last week to shoot birds, and traveled all over the four lakes and seas of western Yunnan, that is, East Lake, West Lake, Jianhu Lake, Xibi Lake, and Erhai Sea, Haila City, Hainapa Sea, comparatively speaking, Jianhu Lake is the most bird-watching resort. Premium** plan
The best experience of bird watching in Jianhu Lake is to go boating in Jianhu Lake, go deep into the Jianhu wetland, and watch birds in the hinterland of Jianhu Lake, which is the most fascinating.
To say that among these **, there are countless wonderful and extraordinary, among which the most proud is the cormorant hitting the water, the green-winged duck flock and the gray goose flock taking off, as well as the purple water pheasant, the crested wheat pheasant foraging by the water, and the peregrine falcon, white-bellied harrier, black-winged kite-footed buzzard, red-tailed bustard hunting on the shore.
Cormorants are actually found in many places, many wild cormorants nest and raise their broods by Qinghai Lake in summer, and cormorants migrate south in winter. So in winter, there are these wild cormorants in many places in the south, especially in Shenzhen Bay, where tens of thousands of cormorants spend the winter in Shenzhen Bay every year, which is very magnificent.
In winter, many plateau lakes in Yunnan also have cormorants. There are not many cormorants in Dianchi Lake, and the distance is often very far, so it is difficult to photograph clearly.
There are a lot of cormorants in Eryuan, Dali, and the sea of grass in Heqing, Dali, and the distance is close, as long as you are patient, it is easy to take a beautiful picture of the cormorant stepping on the waves on the water surface, or the cormorant standing on a stake or stone in the water, drying its wings or hunting or resting.
Cormorants also like to stand on a tree in the middle of the lake to rest or dry their wings, and it is not surprising that drying their wings is a very common occurrence for cormorants. However, these trees are often far from the shore, so that cormorants have a sense of security, and there will be many cormorants gathered here, so without the help of small boats, you can only get a general artistic conception, and it is difficult to shoot clearly.
There are also many cormorants in Sword Lake, and cormorants can often be photographed hitting the water or standing and hunting on the shore, and the trees where cormorants are concentrated are also unapproachable.
However, if you go boating on Sword Lake to go bird watching, these are not a problem.
Cormorants are accustomed to the boats coming and going on Sword Lake. Therefore, even if the boat is very close, the cormorant often goes about drying its wings in its own way, so indifferent, that because the boat is too close, the picture often bursts into frames.
Some cormorants will fly away when the boat is too close, at this time the cormorant taken out of the lake, treading the waves and flying low, because the distance is too close, so it is very clear and beautiful, the only comparable is the cormorant to catch the fish, but unfortunately the old cow has not encountered in the sword lake, can only look forward to when to go to Shenzhen Bay to take such a beautiful picture.
Although there were no cormorants catching fish during the boat boating on Sword Lake, the beautiful pictures of the cormorants taken by Lao Niu are also beautiful.
In contrast, the cormorants photographed in Dianchi Lake, Eryuan Xibi Lake and Heqing Caohai, and even the cormorants photographed on the wetlands by Jianhu Lake have become garbage, which is not worth mentioning.
Of course, the cormorant ** photographed on Dianchi Lake was certainly not worth mentioning, but the joy of photographing the cormorant at that time was real.
In the same way, each of us is growing and improving every day. Although today's achievements are insignificant in the future, they still bring us the joy of success and inspire us to move forward.
I would like to encourage myself with this article, and I also dedicate it to my friends who have traveled along the way, and I wish you all a happy 2024 New Year!
