As the weather gets cooler, the migratory birds that wintered and transited in Shenzhen are back again! It's the bird-watching season again, and the "members" are in place one after another, composing the autumn sounds of hundreds of birds with the sounds of jumping birds. The construction of
"Park City" has made Shenzhen a paradise for bird watching enthusiasts, and the awareness of "loving and protecting birds" is also imprinted in everyone's heart. Among them, the black-faced spoonbill, which is particularly loved by Shenzhen citizens, is the easiest to appreciate at close range. It can be seen in Shenzhen Bay from October every year to April of the following year.
The tidal flats of Shenzhen Bay have nurtured abundant fish, shrimps and crabs, providing sufficient food sources for migratory birds. Every year from October to May of the following year, tens of thousands of long-term migrating birds stop in Shenzhen. This warm coastal wetland is not only a "gas station" for various migratory birds, but also a "viewing spot" for citizens and tourists to watch sea birds.
The black-faced spoonbill is one of the favorite migratory birds of Shenzhen people and is a national first-level protected wild animal. Their long, flat beaks are spoon-shaped, and are very similar to the pipa, a Chinese musical instrument, hence the name "black-faced spoonbill."
Every year around October, black-faced spoonbills set out from the small islands along the coast of Liaoning and North and South Korea, crossing the Yellow Sea and Bohai Bay, crossing the Taiwan Strait of China, the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, passing through Haifeng, Guangdong, and coming to Shenzhen to spend the winter - —This journey runs through almost the entire coastline of China.
Shenzhen Bay has always been one of the important habitats for black-faced spoonbills. The reason why they chose Shenzhen is that the subtropical climate is warm and humid, the dense mangroves provide shelter, and the barely legless coastal wetlands are rich in fish and shrimp.
On March 3, 2017, 110 black-faced spoonbills were recorded along the Shenzhen River at the same time. The global number of black-faced spoonbills that year was 3,941, and the number recorded in the Shenzhen River was close to 3% of the world's.
