Several early songbirds compete for warm trees. What is the picture of the new swallow pecking at the spring mud?

The picture shows that the oriole on the tree is busy grabbing the "warm tree" that first saw the sun in the morning, while the swallow who is under the eaves is busy making a nest with mud.

The words "contend" and "peck" depict the excitement and vitality of oriole and swallow, deliberately depict the dynamics of Yingying and swallow, and show the vitality of early spring.

Original text:

From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake.

Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests.

Colorful spring flowers will gradually fascinate people's eyes, and shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe.

I love the beauty on the east bank of the West Lake, and I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green poplar.

Translation:

From the north of Gushan Temple to Jiating West, the spring water on the lake is just flush with the levee, and the white clouds are low and connected with the lake.

A few early orioles scrambled to fly to the sunny tree, and the new swallows were busy building nests and holding mud.

The flowers are blooming, dazzling, and the shallow grass can just cover the horseshoe.

I can't get tired of seeing the beautiful scenery on the east side of the lake. Willow trees cross a white sand embankment under rows of shade.
