Where can I go bird watching in Changsha? Songya Lake is a place worth punching in. In the past two days, 30 wild swans have come to Songya Lake, and in the turquoise waters of the lake, a group of wild swans will swim in the shape of a human glyph, and then swim into a glyph, which is extremely cheerful. Walk into Songya Lake in Changsha, Hunan Province today and experience the beauty of this national wetland park.
In changsha in early winter, the warm sun shines high, and after a round of cold waves, the sky is blue and cloudy, transparent and warm. A group of white swans flew south for the winter and went to Songya Lake to temporarily "rest their feet". I've seen swans, but I haven't seen wild swans, which is still quite strange.
As the largest constructed wetland in Hunan, Songya Lake has built an international wetland park. The total area of the park is 5535 mu, of which the wetland area is 4116 mu, accounting for 74.4% of the total area, and the wetland is divided into two major wetland types: lake wetland and swamp wetland, and permanent freshwater lake, herbaceous swamp and forest swamp.
Songya Lake has a large area, excellent water quality, abundant fish and shrimp, and lush aquatic grass, providing a good environment for birds to inhabit. In recent years, the wintering spot-billed ducks, green-headed ducks, crested diving ducks and other duck birds can also come to the black water chicken, small cockroach, crested crest. At this time, Songya Lake attracts a large number of photography enthusiasts and people to come to watch birds.
Changsha Wildlife Conservation Association and Songyahu National Wetland Park have also established the Songya Lake Wetland Nature School in Changsha County to carry out wetland environmental education for the public in Changsha and open free open classes for the public.
At present, Songya Lake has entered the best bird watching season, especially on this day when the clouds are light and the wind is light, you can take binoculars, cameras and other equipment to watch. The recommended best bird watching spot is Swan Lake at the first entrance of the park, which is a pristine wetland in the park, rich in grass and trees, and there are large reeds in the central area, where many birds like to roost and breed.
The wild swans that came this time have stayed here for the third year. Yesterday I came to Songya Lake with full armor, and I could clearly see a group of swans leisurely foraging and swimming with my binoculars. The most powerful group of media people, holding an aerial photography of the plane, can look down in the sky to shoot the swans, see very clearly, the swans sometimes sing, sometimes light and treading water, the scene is very lively.
