On the morning of November 22, five white cranes, a globally critically endangered species and a national first-level protected animal, were discovered in the Quanzhou Bay Estuary Wetland Nature Reserve (Shishi Section) in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. This is the first time white cranes have visited Fujian this year, and the number has set a new historical record in Fujian.
The white crane is white all over, its chest and forehead are bright red, and its mouth and feet are dark red. They are mainly winter migratory birds and traveling birds in China. They fly to southern my country to overwinter from early November to mid-November in autumn, and leave my country's wintering grounds from late March to early April in spring, where they inhabit shallow swamps and shallow wetlands.
The Siberian Crane is known as the "living fossil of birds", with a global population of less than 4,000. It is listed as a critically endangered (CR) species in the "World Conservation Union Red List of Endangered Species" (IUCN), and is also a national first-level protected species in my country. animal.
The Quanzhou Bay Estuary Wetland Nature Reserve has diverse ecosystems such as estuaries, tidal flats, mangroves, reclamation areas, and offshore waters, providing a good habitat for rare birds such as white cranes that fly over the winter. Next, the local area will continue to monitor and record the population size, wintering duration, and living habits of the Siberian Crane to contribute to biodiversity research.
