At the edge of the pond, he encounters a "middle egret" waiting for an opportunity to hunt. Its white feathers and slender figure are very eye-catching. There are not many chances of meeting the "Middle Egret". When I met it today, I stopped and carefully observed it, hoping to see its flying posture.
Most of the "Chinese egrets" like to act alone, and their calm habits are more lively and active than those of their close relatives, "Little Egrets", which can be described as "judging two people". At this time, it stood silently in the shallow water, calmly and steadily waiting for the appearance of its prey. Occasionally move a few steps or change your body, and occasionally stick your long mouth into the water to find some food to swallow. Sometimes I would gently play with my neck a few times, not knowing what the intention was.
The "cultivation" kung fu of the "Middle Egret" was really successful, and I waited for more than half an hour, and when I saw it, it only moved a few steps, and there was no sign of taking off. When it slowly walked into the reeds with "enough wine and food", I had no choice but to leave, and my extravagant expectations were disappointed.
Its scientific name for Chinese is "Middle Egret", the genus Egret of the family Storkaceae, a medium-sized wading bird, a summer migratory bird. China's "three protected animals".
