"Look, there are many red-billed gulls in Xiaoyao Lake." Since last week, many citizens who went to Xiaoyaojin Park to enjoy the lake have discovered that there are some "new friends" on the lake. The reporter learned from the park management office that with the completion of the upgrade and renovation project, the water quality in the park scenic area has continued to improve. This year, more than 40 red-billed gulls were welcomed for the first time, spending the winter in Xiaoyao Lake and other waters in the park.
The red-billed gull, commonly known as "water pigeon", is similar in body shape and coat color to pigeons. Because its feet and toes are red, which turn to orange in winter, it is particularly eye-catching on the water. They generally live in rivers, reservoirs, and bays, and can be seen in many coastal ports and large lakes around the world. Although they look cute, they are also authentic national "three-have" animals (terrestrial wild animals that are beneficial to the state or have important economic and scientific research value).
Recently, this group of children who are somewhat picky about their living environment appeared on Xiaoyao Lake in Xiaoyaojin Park, which really surprised the citizens and tourists of Hefei. "Look, there are many red-billed gulls in Xiaoyao Lake." "Tourist Zhang Yan and her family were on a winter trip to Xiaoyaojin. When they were boating on the lake, they happened to meet these little cuties. "I wasn't sure at first. I didn't expect to see red-billed gulls in Xiaoyaojin. The last time I saw them was at the Haigeng Dam of Dianchi Lake. "
With their white feathers, bright little beaks and little feet, their good looks make the red-billed gulls in Xiaoyao Lake a beautiful sight in the park. According to the staff of the Xiaoyaojin Park Management Office, this group of red-billed gulls came to Xiaoyaojin about a week ago, with a number of about 40. It is also the first time that the park has welcomed red-billed gulls. At present, the park tries to provide them with a natural environment for their habitat without human interference.
Since the completion of the upgrade and renovation of Xiaoyaojin Park last year, the water system in the park has been further opened up, water quality standards have been continuously promoted, water surface landscapes have been enriched, and the overall water environment has been significantly improved. The clear water body of Xiaoyao Lake has been favored by citizens and tourists. “This time Xiaoyao Lake can attract red-billed gulls to spend the winter, which also shows that the natural environment in the park is becoming more and more beautiful and the water quality is getting better and better. In the future, we will continue to protect this green garden and create a beautiful business card of Hefei's cultural tourism attractions. ”
