Why does Poyang Lake have the reputation of "White Crane Kingdom"?

Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve, located in the northwest corner of Poyang Lake, is an internationally important wetland with rich biodiversity, the main wintering place for cranes and storks in the world, and the largest wintering place for migratory birds in Asia. There are 3 10 species of birds in nature reserve, including white crane, white-headed crane, bustard 1 species, and 40 species of swan, white-naped crane, gray crane and mandarin duck under second-class national protection. There are not only many kinds of rare birds in the reserve, but also a large number. The total number of single cranes has reached more than 7,000, so it has the reputation of "the kingdom of cranes". There are thousands of swans, cranes, geese and ducks. When they fly, they cover the sun, and when they land, they are like stars. As the saying goes, "How many birds in Poyang know? When flying, they cover Yun Zheyue, but when falling, they can't see the grass by the lake." This is a world of birds. Every year when fish maws gather in Huang Zhi, white cranes fly from the north one after another, and basically arrive in early and middle June165438+1October. At this time, the crane was exhausted from the long flight and was eager to find food to restore his strength. Bird watchers or bird patterns can approach about 100 meters. Coupled with the crisp and transparent weather in autumn, this is the best time to watch and shoot birds in a year. Transportation: Take the train from Beijing-Guangzhou Line to Jiangxi, get off at De 'an, and then take the bus to Sujiadang and Sixia Lake, about 1 hour.

Then walk to the hill where Banghu township government is located, which is the best bird watching point. Chongming Dongtan, located at the eastern end of Chongming Island in Shanghai, is flat and vast, with dense tidal gulls and vigorous growth of reeds and POTAMOGETON. Tides occur twice a day. Fish, shrimp and benthic organisms stranded in tidal gullies not only provide tourists with a transit point to stop and replenish nutrition, but also attract storks, cranes, gulls, geese and ducks to come here for the winter, leaving traces here every year. There is a national first-class protected bird crane, which walks along the winding trestle in the core area of Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve until it reaches the depths of the wetland. Through the high-powered telescope, you can see their white heads and necks, gray-black bodies, playing by the water and flapping their wings from time to time. In addition to the white-headed crane, there are oriental storks, black storks, white-tailed sea eagles and other national first-class protected birds that have left traces on Dongtan. There are even more birds under national second-class protection, with 35 species. Up to now, 290 species of birds have been found in Dongtan. The beautiful Chongming Dongtan is a paradise for birds.
