Benefit from the guidance of Teacher Bao Haoran of Nanjing Agricultural University and go to the nursery base of Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Nursery To watch birds.
The overall environment of Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Nursery Farm is mountainous hilly woodland, bird species and Nanjing's traditional Purple Mountain Bird Watching Point Zhongshan Botanical Garden and Purple Mountain Villa are basically the same, but because it is a nursery base, there are basically no tourists inside, so it is extremely clean, I went twice before and after, two and a half days. All were very good to be found.
I added tin-billed finches, brown-faced cormorants, black-collared noisy storks and small black-collared noisy birds to the Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Nursery, as well as other beautiful birds such as thrush, spotted woodpecker, red-billed acacia, black-tailed wax-billed finch, gray-backed bird and so on.
I set the navigation directly in the "Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Nursery Field", AutoNavi suggested that I get off at the subway to Zhongling Street Station and then walk to the nursery, I followed the navigation route, got off at Zhongling Street and walked about 1.7 kilometers to the door. This 1.7 km is basically a walk in a park, and there are many common birds along the way.

There is a clear iron gate at the entrance of the nursery, the iron door is generally open, and say hello to the doorman Uncle, saying that he came to see the birds, and Uncle will allow you to enter.
The environment in the park is as follows:

After entering the nursery, I followed the road and came across a small lake in the depths of the nursery where there was no road. Later I looked at my trajectory which were several separate small ponds, and the surrounding areas were suitable for bird watching.
The woodpecker at the entrance to the entrance straight around the top of the house, carefully observe these trees and bamboo forests, if there is a large group of small birds hula flying by, it will generally appear last in a large group of birds, and then concentrate on the branches to find food, can be very close, and not afraid of people. Very cute.

Magnetic Lake is close to the road and contains poultry such as black swans, and there are a large number of night herons, black water chickens and other forest birds on the reeds and trees on the side. Every day it seems like an earthquake cloud.
The area inside the nursery is very large, very secluded, suitable for 1-3 people to observe carefully and find, really can turn a day.
I spent two and a half days here bird watching. One is the record of my first day.
Bird watching records are for reference
Nanjing is very beautiful, I also took the time to transfer to zhongshan botanical garden and other places, next time I will carefully transfer the botanical garden.
