Since the first batch of geese appeared in the sky above Xiaojing Lake, it seems to have kicked off the return of migratory birds, and then a large number of migratory birds began to return to the reeds near Xiaojing Lake.

As if overnight, Liangcun has become a world of migratory birds, with wild ducks, geese, herons, mandarin ducks and swans,......, a wide variety of migratory birds bringing vitality to Liangcun at once.

The arrival of the originally cool north wind made Liang Village have a bit more gloomy atmosphere, but the large-scale arrival of migratory birds has made this landscape regain a stronger breath of life.

Migratory birds arrive in the mountains, forests and lakes around Liangcun on a large scale, which makes Liangcun's originally bleak winter full of vitality and vitality again. Qingyue's cries and those flying figures, as in the previous decades, have become indispensable elements of life in the lives of Liangcun people.

In the eyes of the people of Liangcun, Xiaojing Lake, reeds and migratory birds are the symbols of the village, and the reason why Liangcun is different from other places is because of these beautiful scenery. Although these scenery cannot bring substantial benefits to Liang Village now, the pleasing effect alone is enough to make people take care of them.

The Lunar New Year is approaching and the temperature is gradually dropping, but there are still some verdant artemisia grasses and reeds that have not yet completely withered around the lake, making it seem as if winter has not yet arrived. Of course, the reed flowers scattered in the wind are fluttering in the air, like snowflakes in the sky, just like the scenery of the north. It's just that it's all just like, not real.

This is the biggest difference between the north and the south, the winter in the north is almost thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting ice and snow, almost all the leaves of the vegetation have fallen off, only bare branches remain. With the exception of humans, it is rare to see living creatures in the wild, and all animals are curled up in their nests, waiting for spring to come. But in a tropical area like Liangcun, even in the coldest winter, the minimum temperature is rarely about minus five degrees, which can be described as warm as spring.

Such a warm climate has created a scene of spring in Liangcun all year round, and after entering the New Year, it is still full of vitality, and the arrival of migratory birds is just icing on the cake.

Standing on a high place, you can see that the mountains around Liang Village are still full of greenery, and the green waves move with the wind, making bursts of sound. In the mountains and forests, in the wilderness, the weeds began to wither, but under the yellow-brown hay, some tender green life was stubbornly growing, trying to see the sun faster.

Although some of the small daisies that can be seen everywhere have withered, some are still blooming, and the yellow and white daisies look weak, but they exude a trace of life. The little daisy with strong vitality represents many plants in the south, although it does not look atmospheric, but there is still a persistent power in the weakness.

Perhaps, this is the surname of the South.

The villagers have long been accustomed to the scene of migratory birds, so when migratory birds appear one after another, everyone is not surprised. Migratory birds rise and fall in the reeds, spreading their wings and soaring, for the villagers who are working by the lake, it is just a spice after labor.

But for Yu Shanwei and others, the spectacular scene of the reeds around Xiaojing Lake has more meaning, and they can't help but get excited. They immediately took out various telephoto lenses and high-definition shooting equipment from the warehouse, and found a shooting location by the lake, ready to photograph these migratory birds.

After decades of scientific research experience, Yu Shanwei and others have already integrated research into their lives and bone marrow, and they will not easily miss opportunities in the future.

Since the last unsuccessful scientific expedition, Liu Rui rarely went to the station, he was busy with pig farms and wineries every day, and he read some information by himself in his spare time. He wasn't very clear about the recent changes in the expedition, and the Institute seemed to have faded out of his life.

During this period of time, the staff of the institute has organized several inspection activities of different scales, and basically found out the situation in the peripheral areas of Xiaoqingshan. From the distribution of vegetation, the types of wild animals, the changes in geological conditions, and the changes in climate, various details have been carefully marked on the investigation report by the professionals of the Institute, which has become an important basis for the Xiaoqingshan area to apply for a national nature reserve.

Although the investigation was only carried out on the periphery of Xiaoqingshan, the abundant species in it still opened the eyes of the staff of the institute who participated in the scientific expedition activities. For them, being able to participate in scientific expeditions of this scale and see so many rare animals and plants in their lifetime is enough to become a strong stroke on their resumes.

Tung trees, tree-looking trees, alders, and all kinds of rare ferns, either of which alone can be the focus of attention in the botanical garden, but in Koqingshan, they are just ordinary plants. In addition, the traces of various national first- and second-class protected animals emerge in an endless stream in the Xiaoqingshan area, although the expedition team has not been able to capture any kind of first-class animals, but with a large number of video data and indirect evidence, it can still be confirmed that there are a large number of rare animals in Xiaoqingshan.

Therefore, with the deepening of the investigation activities, the staff of the institute became more and more excited, and they almost devoted themselves to it, and spent two months almost walking through the outer mountains of Xiaoqingshan, recording the mountains and rivers of Xiaoqingshan and every rare species they saw.

After the application materials were submitted, the investigation activities of the institute came to an initial end, and hundreds of researchers were evacuated from Liangcun one after another and returned to the capital. Especially those students, when the end of the semester is approaching, it is natural to go back to prepare for the final exam and submit the paper that was inspected in Xiaoqingshan to their supervisor. The rest of the staff also returned to the capital for the New Year's holiday, and only some of the left-behind staff stayed at the grain station to watch their homes.

All of a sudden, the originally lively grain station people went to the empty building, which made the people in Liang Village feel a little unaccustomed.

In the past few months since it was stationed in Liangcun, the institute has brought a lot of changes and benefits to Liangcun, so that the villagers have become a little accustomed to their existence. Not to mention anything else, the fresh vegetables, fruits and poultry purchased by the institute and the villagers every day have also increased the villagers' income.

The small projector brought by the research institute would show movies every once in a while, so that the villagers were addicted to movies, especially the children, and finally saw the wider world outside. Now the grain station has become deserted, which makes the villagers a little uncomfortable.

After the New Year, Yu Shanwei and others listened to the report of the left-behind personnel, saying that a large number of migratory birds came to the Xiaojing Lake area, so they hurriedly ended their vacation and returned to Liang Village.

Previously, when he was inspecting Liang Village, Yu Shanwei also heard the villagers say that many migratory birds come to winter around Xiaojing Lake every year, but they didn't take it seriously. In the opinion of Yu Shanwei and others, perhaps the villagers' accounts will be a little untrue, in places like Xiaojing Lake, it is normal for migratory birds to appear, but there will not be a large number of rare birds.

In addition, some time ago, the main energy of the research institute was focused on the investigation of the Xiaoqingshan area, and there was not a lot of attention to Xiaojing Lake, so it was inevitable that something would be missed. Now, after receiving the report of the left-behind personnel and some photos taken, Yu Shanwei in Yanjing could no longer sit still, and returned to Liangcun overnight to preside over the observation of migratory birds in Xiaojing Lake.

Yu Shanwei found a duck shed on the edge of Xiaojing Lake, and after a simple transformation, it became a forward base for observing and photographing migratory birds.

This duck shed was originally built by the villagers to raise ducks in Xiaojing Lake, but after the closure of fishing and commercial breeding in Xiaojing Lake, this duck shed was abandoned. This duck shed is located right near the reeds and facing the small island in the middle of the lake, making it the best place to observe migratory birds.

Yu Shanwei first found a bamboo mat and surrounded the duck shed, which was originally a little bare, so that passing migratory birds could no longer see the figures inside, reducing their chance of panicking. In addition, Yu Shanwei also set up shelves of different heights, and opened a lot of observation holes on the mat to observe the migratory birds passing around the duck shed in all directions.

The high-definition camera equipment taken out of the warehouse is installed in the duck shed according to the shooting requirements, and all of them are opened so that those graceful figures can be captured at any time.

Migratory birds don't know that there are countless eyes watching their every move around their lives, and they are still enjoying this green mountain and green water according to their own rhythm of life. Coming to Liangcun from the far north, the migratory birds have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and have encountered the baptism of storms and rains on the way, and even the threat of humans. They rely on their superior physical strength. With a tenacious will and a little luck, I successfully arrived at this dream home.

The long-distance journey has exhausted the migratory birds, especially those young migratory birds who were born this summer, and the first flight to the south has made them experience the difficult side of life. After the migratory birds, whose energy was almost exhausted, came to this landscape, their nerves, which had been tense, were finally relaxed, and they devoted themselves to recuperation.

These migratory birds will frolic and forage in Xiaojing Lake until the spring flowers bloom in the next year, and when they raise themselves fat and strong, and when they are full of energy, they will set off for the lakes and swamps in the north to carry out routine breeding and grow their populations.

Life is like this, growing in continuous training, and continuing hope in strength!
