On December 18, white spoonbills hovered over the blue sky and clear water in the Beiminhu Wetland of Lixian County. Since the beginning of winter, the Beiminhu Wetland Nature Reserve has witnessed hundreds of thousands of white spoonbills, intermediate egrets, spot-billed ducks, and ruddy shelducks, who come here to overwinter. In recent years, Lixian County has worked hard around the comprehensive management of the water environment of Beimin Lake. The water body has been fully restored, making it an ideal wintering habitat for migratory birds. (Photo/Bai Yipu and Su Huaming)
