Driving the sports car back to the fishing grounds, the only thing Qin Shiou found meaningful was Powell's encouragement.

Powell has always wanted to be a race car driver, but the gap between ATVs and racing cars is a bit big, so when he sees the stylish Porsche 918, his eyes light up.

Qin Shiou asked him to sit in the car and find out how to feel, under his teaching, Powell started the car, roared in place for a while, trembling with excitement, and asked vigorously, 'Is this the feeling of driving a car?'

"What you have to do now is to study and exercise, study will develop your brain, exercise will make you have a strong body, so that after you get your driver's license, I will allow you to drive a sports car on the road!"

Qin Shiou drew a big pie for Powell, and from that night on, Powell became different from Gordon and others. He fought alone in the bedroom with his book in his arms, and when he had a problem he couldn't have, he asked Winnie, and suddenly he became hard.

Therefore, people are afraid that there is no pursuit, as long as there is a pursuit and motivation, then they will be able to pay for achievements and achieve some results.

When he slept at night, Qin Shiou felt that the outside of the villa was not very peaceful, and from time to time there was the quacking of a big white goose, or the sound of some birds flapping their wings.

But he didn't care, because this couldn't be a sneak attack by the golden eagle, first, the golden eagle did not have the habit of hunting at night, and second, the tiger and leopard at the door did not call, obviously not a big problem.

Got up early in the morning ≡ bed to go for a run with Winnie, and as soon as Qin Shiou went out, his eyes suddenly widened.

I saw that in the offshore waters of the fishing ground to the south of the villa, there were brown and gray seabirds all over the place!

Overwhelmed, Qin Shiou did not exaggerate. These seabirds are really all over the fishing grounds!

How many seabirds are there? Qin Shiou didn't know, he only knew. When some of these seabirds fly, they can obscure the sky. These seabirds float on the surface of the sea. The water surface of the entire fishing ground is covered and blocked!

And what he saw was not all the birds, there was also a steady stream of seabirds flying from the north and landing on the fishing grounds one after another.

"What kind of bird is this?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.

He had never seen this kind of seabird, which was usually about 20 centimeters, and the larger ones could be 30 centimeters. It has a spindle-shaped body with a short neck, a thin beak and a hooked beak, like a grayish-brown mallard. The wings are long and narrow, like a sickle.

Shaq explained to him: "This is the short-tailed shearwater, boss, don't be surprised, this is the largest population of migratory birds in North America, and now we are only seeing their vanguard, and the real main force is behind." ”

Qin Shiou stared at Shaq in disbelief and asked, "That's not all?" ”

Shaq Dan made a fixed estimate and said, "Every migration." There are about 4 million short-tailed shearwaters in North America, and now there are 500,000 at most, so that's obviously not all, and it will be two days before you see all the short-tailed shearwaters descending on the fishing grounds! ”

"It's spectacular! It's unbelievable! ”

After the shock. Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh and said, "I admit that this scene is shocking, but I don't think it's a good thing. The loss of the fishery is a bit big now. ”

But he is not stingy, so many seabirds come to the fishing grounds. They don't just come to rest, they come to hunt. Not an exaggeration. As a result of this flock of seabirds, the number of small fish in the fishery has to be reduced by 10 to 20 percent.

Fortunately, the short-tailed shearwater is a small seabird, no more than 30 centimeters in size, and has no effect on big fish.

Auerbach came out and saw the seabirds with some emotion, and said, "I don't think we should be sad, but happy, because the short-tailed shearwater has not stopped in our fishing grounds for a long time." They are clever little birds that will only stay in the sea where food is abundant. ”

Hearing him say this, Shaq became happy and said, "Yes, a few years ago, the short-tailed shearwater group stayed in the sea east of St. John's for a short time and then flew directly to the Cabot Strait, and then went to the vicinity of Sable Island, and it has not stopped near our farewell island for a long time. ”

"So, is their arrival a good thing?" Qin Shiou asked with a wry smile.

Although the fishery will only lose small fish, and the big fish will not lightly surface the water, the loss of the fishery is still not small.

Shaq and Auerbach smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course it's a good thing, boss, you don't have to bear the loss of the fishing grounds." And after about a week, the flock will all leave, and they won't eat our fish for nothing, they'll leave us gifts, great gifts. ”

Qin Shiou asked what it was, but the group didn't answer, Winnie seemed to know something, smiling next to her but not speaking.

When the children woke up and found so many seabirds in the fishing grounds, they were immediately excited and ran to the beach to chase the seabirds.

The happiest are the Labradors, both dogs and cats like to catch birds, and the tiger leopard runs tirelessly on the beach, chasing the birds everywhere, and does not know the tiredness.

The arrival of the flock of birds is also a boost to the tourism industry of Farewell Island, and the tourists are stunned.

The activities that had been planned for mountaineering, going to sea, and so on were suspended, and tourists gathered on the shore to take pictures frantically, leaving this shocking scene in their minds and cameras.

Various restaurants and restaurants on Farewell Island have launched new dishes, and various short-tailed shearwater methods have come out, and you can do anything braised or grilled, fried, steamed, and fried.

The short-tailed shearwater is fat, and its meat is more delicate than that of wild duck and pheasant, but because the government does not allow the widespread capture of this migratory bird, and because they tend to migrate in large groups, they are not in danger of extinction. Otherwise, with the delicacy of this bird, it would have been eaten up a long time ago.

Don't look at Europe and the United States shouting about species protection, in fact, they have extinct wild species, far more than the Chinese.

In the next two days, as Shaq said, more and more short-tailed shearwaters arrived, and these birds occupied the entire sea around Farewell Island, and every time they flew into the deep sea to hunt at noon, they would give people a sense of black clouds crushing the city.

The short-tailed shearwater feeds mainly on seaweed, shrimp and small marine fish, and its feeding is mainly done at the surface of the sea, often swimming while feeding.

They have strong wings and can fly to the deep sea and then float to rest, and their predatory footsteps can penetrate deep into every part of the sea.

On the third day after the flock arrived, Hamlet approached Qin Shiou and told him the good news: "Qin, according to government regulations, if a large flock of traveling birds descends on a private fishing ground, the fisherman can receive a subsidy, about one Canadian dollar a day for ten seabirds." ”

"Who can count how many seabirds there are?" Qin Shiou understood, no wonder Shaq said that he didn't need to bear the loss of the fishing ground, there was the Canadian government.

He was also more interested in what kind of gifts the seabirds would bring him in a week's time. (To be continued......)
