Recently, the Minjiang River Estuary Wetland in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, ushered in a group of migratory birds "pioneer troops" migrating south.
Minjiang Estuary Wetland is the largest pristine estuarine wetland in Fujian Province, with a total area of 2381.85 hectares. This is the northern edge of the wintering areas of the world's endangered birds such as the black-faced spoonbill and spoon-billed sandpiper, and the southern edge of the breeding area of the Chinese crested tern and the wintering area of various geese. As an important station on the East Asian-Australian migratory bird migration route, the Minjiang Estuary Wetland is a veritable "bird kingdom." Xinhua News Agency reporter Wei Peiquan took a photo
