On October 24th, the weather was clear, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, my friend Xiao huang and I came to dong'an mother river zishui river for leisure.
So cute! It turned out to be you; little cutie! The little partridge is coming.
At first, there was nothing on the river with a good view, and it was a little disappointing. suddenly! Small black dots emerge from the river, getting bigger and bigger, slowly swimming forward. Fine, thick, bold... One, two, three... The "little ones" walked idly on the river one by one, shaking their heads from time to time, looking left and right, always alert to everything that was happening around them. Carefully identified, these little cute turns out to be little partridges.
The Zishui River is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Xiang River and a brilliant and magnificent pearl in the Xiang River basin. She is beautiful but not charming, elegant and not charming, transparent and beautiful. I grew up drinking her milk and drinking her water. Little ducks, little Mandarin ducks and other cute ones are often infested. When you are in a bad mood, come to her side for a walk, and every time there is a different surprise.
I asked, how do you pronounce the bird name of the little partridge? Xiao Huang said that it may be read as Xiao Peihu. We took out our mobile phones and checked them, and it was originally read as pìtī, not as a small tiger.
Through consultation, it turns out that the little partridge is a submerged bird of the genus Little Partridge in the family Grebe. Body length 25-29 cm, wingspan 40-45 cm, weight 100-200 g, lifespan of 13 years. The occipital part has a black-brown crown; the adult has a black-brown hetero-brown wrinkled collar on the upper neck; the upper body is black-brown and the lower body is white. Good at swimming and diving, often diving for food, feeding on aquatic insects and their larvae, fish, shrimp, etc. Usually alone or in small, scattered groups. When breeding, they chase each other on the water and make a sound, and have the habit of occupying a certain territory. During the breeding period, it nests in swamps, ponds, lakes and other places such as reeds, rushes, cattails, etc., and lays 4-7 eggs per clutch, with a blunt and round ovate shape, dirty white, and males and females take turns to incubate eggs. Resident birds and some migratory birds. It is found in Eurasia, Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Japan and other countries and all over China.
In the late autumn, the weather is starting to cool down, and I wonder, how are the little cuties living in Purple Water now? Will you move south without saying hello?
Talking and talking, without paying attention, these little cute things suddenly disappeared again, and most of them disappeared from sight. There are only 2 small partridges left on the river. Later, a burst of crisp and pleasant birdsong broke through the silence, and in the not far river, 4 small partridges appeared in succession, they swung their fat tails, and the two small flippers quickly paddled and paddled, practicing a good hard kung fu on the water.
"Oh! Oh..." Suddenly, Xiao Huang shouted a few times, only to see 2 small partridges taking off on the surface of the water, seemingly with a lot of effort, wading on the water to help run for a long distance before flying, its cute state is indeed pitiful.
The rest of the small partridges, some floating motionless on the surface of the water for leisure. Some dive underwater from time to time to hide, and from time to time they appear nearby. Sometimes it sinks into the water again, showing only its mouth and eyes on the surface of the water, looking around warily.
The staff of the Zishui National Wetland Park Administration revealed that the ecology of the Zishui River is getting better and better, and the little partridge has all year round. Like humans, they are interested in purple water, their own home, and now the river conditions and food conditions can meet their small requirements, and generally do not "migrate" away.
At this time, the 6 small partridges in the river held hands and paired, and quickly formed 3 small families. Pairs of small partridges swim in the purple water and cross the river of love, which is enviable. If the weather is sunny, it is likely that you can also see the black pressure of the "little cute" in pairs, collectively swimming in the Grand Scene of the Zishui River, constituting another beautiful landscape along the Zishui River.
In recent years, Dong'an ecological environment is getting better and better, the Zishui River is rippling, and for tourists and leisure residents who come to Dong'an Zishui River for sightseeing and sightseeing, it is a small blessing to be able to watch all kinds of birds such as little ibises playing in the water every day, listening to the crisp and pleasant birdsong, the Mother River has such a beautiful and picturesque and vibrant scenery.
I think that as the ecological environment is getting better and better, this winter, the little partridges of the Zishui River should not migrate.
On that day, the sky was blue, the rare warm sun reappeared, walking on the zishui river, green trees, flowers and scenery, roads and bridges connected, both the green environment of the park, and the water rhyme of the wetland, and then the connotation of garde culture, wetland cultural elements, and more small cute and small elves in the river, unconsciously, suddenly cheerful; the picture of the harmonious coexistence between the small partridge and the natural environment on the river was quietly frozen in the mind, and from time to time it appeared in front of the eyes, oh, my mother river is not the home of the little partridge. No matter how long or short the Mother River is, no matter how poor or poor, they always feed their own flowers.
Aren't we and the little partridge her flowers?
