Shao Fuchen introduced: "I have been involved in bird photography since 2015, and I have photographed more than 250 species of birds in Daxing'anling, and this is the first time I have encountered white-fronted geese. The white-fronted goose is a sub-adult bird, mainly distributed along the coast of China, and is rare in the north. ”
