A Autumn Rain and a Cool.
West Lake , there are more and more winter migratory birds flying from the far north to spend the winter, especially the large army of mandarin ducks, which have arrived one after another.
In the past two days, Lu Jianli, a volunteer from West Lake mandarin duck, observed an interesting story: in the waters near Yanggong Dike, a large number of mandarin ducks gathered. "There are about 100 people. In previous years, we have only observed more than 30 people here. This year, it has increased a lot, like a conference here."
As early as October 12, Lu Jianli observed that the first wave of northern mandarin ducks this year came to report by the West Lake, with a number of 22 people. Calculate the time, it was about half a month earlier than last year.

"The mandarin duck in the north is much more timid than the mandarin ducks who stayed at West Lake. When they come, they will first explore the way carefully and see where they are safest and most comfortable. In recent years, according to our volunteers' observations, generally after the mandarin ducks in the north come, they will stay in some hidden waters around Yanggong Dike that are rarely visited. After adapting for a period of time, they will go to Hougu Mountain, Lakeside Waters and other places with a large number of people." Lu Jianli introduced.
Among the four major winter migratory birds in West Lake, cormorant and mandarin duck have arrived early. Next, the Weaver Girl Silver Gull and the Ordinary Merganser are also coming.
In addition, Lu Jianli said that there is another type of winter migratory bird - white bone top , which has also arrived and is staying in the waters of Maojiabu . Currently, 2 have been observed. Their most obvious feature is their black feathers, except for their beak and forehead armor, which is very recognizable.
Lu Jianli said that he and the birdwatching volunteers analyzed that the White Bone Head is expected to sprint to the title of the fifth winter migratory bird in West Lake.

You should know that the conditions for becoming a winter migratory bird in West Lake are actually quite harsh, and the following conditions need to be met -
has been here to spend the winter in West Lake for three consecutive years; the large team comes in groups, with at least 10 people; the stay time is more than 3 months.
"Our volunteers' observation data shows that the time it takes for Baiboding and Yuanyang to arrive in West Lake is similar, and they stayed until the end of March and early April of the second year. As early as 2014, it was found that Baiboding came to West Lake for winter. Since 2016, they have basically come to report every year. In the past three years, the number of people coming each year ranges from 10 to 20. We are also looking forward to seeing how many people will fly this year."
reminds everyone again: these winter migratory birds are very sensitive to the environment, so citizens and tourists who want to watch birds should wear telescopes and wait and see from a distance.
