November has passed and the weather is getting colder
The leaves are falling and the frost is full of branches
It's the migratory birds again
Work hard, not far away
The time of migration to the south
Although our southern winter all depends on physical fitness
But it is the only favor of migratory birds
The return of migratory birds has undoubtedly given us a winter day
Adds a beautiful landscape
Such a rare "ten thousand birds rising sun" spectacle
Certainly not to be missed!
