Unforgettable bird hunting experience

In early spring and February, it is the season when rape blossoms all over the mountain. When tourists flocked to Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province to see rape blossoms, I happened to pass by here and went to Yangxian County to experience bird shooting as a spectator.

Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province is said to be a recognized bird hunting place in China. It is said that dozens of beautiful birds can be photographed there. It is a gathering place for crested ibis, golden roosters, bamboo chickens, resident birds and migratory birds, and also a punching place for birdwatchers.

In Yangxian county, there has been a quite mature routine, that is, with the help of bird guides, bird shooters can accurately reach the bird spots distributed everywhere to ensure that there are birds to shoot.

Bird guide services include locating bird spots, setting up pick-up and drop-off stations according to guests' needs, sending guests to bird spots and providing simple lunches. And one-stop service. Of course, all services cannot be free.

Some bird spots are in the wild fields, which are purely natural and artificially designed. As shown above, photographers line up or shoot together. Others build simple greenhouses and simply arrange bird life scenes. The photographer took pictures through the small window in the greenhouse.

Shooting birds is also called shooting birds. Shooting birds requires high photographic equipment. SLR cameras, long lenses and tripods are all standard. The requirements for photographers are not low, at least they must have physical strength, be able to climb high and low, and be agile.

It is more convenient, efficient and interesting to have off-road vehicles and photographers with good conditions.

In Yangxian County, there are many birdwatchers from all over the country. Most middle-aged and elderly grandfathers are equipped with long guns and short guns. It's really eye-catching to see a few women's vigorous figures occasionally. There will inevitably be collisions and frictions when there are many people, and it is more about learning and communication between people with the same spirit.

Only the number of birds photographed is limited. Many times there are a large group of photographers and only one or two or a few bird models, and the battle always seems a bit inexplicable.

Especially when there is a shooting opportunity, the click of the shutter rings at the same time, and the scene is spectacular.

The highlight of filming in March is the perfect combination of rape field and crested ibis, which is called the crested ibis of rape flower version. Just take it in the above group of pictures and share it with everyone.

This trip was a small gain. My family filmed at least a dozen birds and several good movies. The price is to visit four bird attractions in the past three days. Not to mention the round-trip distance and accommodation, I only opened nearly 100 kilometers in Yangxian County, and the services I got included receiving three bird spots and the cost of friendly eye service in 200 yuan.

My experience is that bird shooting is a branch of photography, which has a unique charm and attracts a lot of iron powder. But the requirements are comprehensive and the cost is high, which may not be suitable for everyone. For example, although I like beautiful pictures, I can't stand the pressure of getting up early, traveling long distances and spending a lot of money, so I can't afford to play. It is enough to be a bystander.
