The construction of the observation post began, and the village was in full swing, and the villagers were more excited than building their own houses, and spontaneously helped dig the foundation, cut wood, and several village masons all volunteered to help.

The villagers' ideas are very simple, the establishment of a nature reserve is a great thing to benefit future generations, for their own children and grandchildren, do what they can is right, no one mentions remuneration, so that Zhang Yali and the three of them sigh that the village folk customs are simple.

Zhang Yali and the three of them officially began to investigate the number of water birds, and the village arranged for Uncle Fang, who had the best rowing skills, to take them on a bamboo raft to board the reeds.

"Niuniu, it's up to you later, don't let the water birds attack us, my beautiful face that everyone loves and sees flowers blooming, if I am caught by the water birds, it will be broken." Meng Xiaoyu touched his face, with a narcissistic face, and folded his hands to support the little fat girl with an excited face.

Reeddang is a place where water birds lay eggs and hatch eggs and breed offspring, except for Fang Yun and Niu Niu, others dare to go in, they will definitely be besieged by water birds, the water birds in the reservoir are much bolder than the water birds in other places, and they are much more fierce, and it is definitely not a joke to scratch your face full of peach blossoms with a paw.

As long as it is a woman, there is no one who does not take care of her face, no matter how much she likes her work, the three girls do not have the great sentiment of being disfigured for the sake of work, hearing about the tragic fate of those poachers in the past, the three girls were so frightened that they had to pester Fang Yun and take them into the reeds, Fang Yun waved his hand, and the Niuniu knight who was chasing the wild boar on a tiger was betrayed.

The little chubby girl grinned, and her fleshy little hand slapped her little chest. said triumphantly: "Big sister, don't be afraid, Niuniu will protect you, the waterfowl are very well-behaved." ”

Shrewd? The waterfowl waiting for tourists to feed the fish on the edge of the reservoir are indeed very well-behaved, as for the reeds, it depends on who the object is, Meng Xiaoyu muttered in his heart, and the little pony hurriedly sent: "Niuniu is really powerful, I will rely on Niuniu to protect us today." ”

"Hee-hee." The little girl can't help but praise the most, and when she praises, she will her tail, this feeling of being able to protect others makes Niuniu like it very much. I feel like I'm an adult already. Well! Niuniu is an adult, not a three- or four-year-old child, the little girl nodded happily.

"Wow, Niuniu is here. The little red dot is coming out. Niu Niu has come to see you. "As soon as the bamboo raft approached the reeds. The little fat girl couldn't wait to jump off the bamboo raft, put her little hands around her mouth, and called loudly.

With the little chubby girl calling. The reeds are boiling, countless waterfowl are happily chirping and flapping their wings to Niuniu, flying in front of the crested ibis little red dot, Niuniu giggling and holding the little red dot, a large flock of waterfowl around Niuniu's cheerful chirping circle.

There were more and more waterbirds, and in the end, Zhang Yali and others didn't even have a place to stay, so they could only retreat again and again, and then simply retreated to the bamboo raft, looking at Niuniu and the waterfowl with envy on their faces, and they didn't dare to step forward, so they had to set up the camera and start shooting.

Although the water birds are close to Niuniu, they are not so friendly to others, the reeds are full of bird eggs and birds that have just hatched for a long time, and the nature of animals to protect their offspring, if it weren't for Niuniu, Zhang Yali and they wouldn't want to get close to the reeds.

"Crested ibis! That's the crested ibis! ”

"Look, whooper swan, huh...... There are also two black swans there! ”

"Red-crowned cranes! There are quite a few of them, and this group is estimated to have fifty or sixty of them, over there! Chinese mergansers! ”

The three girls felt that their eyes were not enough, shouted and cheered, and looked at each other, their eyes were full of excitement and surprise, the more birds are cherished here, the more meaningful their work is, and the easier it is to achieve results.

Niu Niu frolicked with the water bird for more than half an hour, and finally remembered her task today, the meaty little fat hand waved, the water bird reluctantly left, and the little fat girl began to fulfill her dual duties as a guide and a little bodyguard.

The most in the reeds is the mallard, since the reeds in the reservoir after the zài, these mallard ducks began to breed in the reservoir, the ducks raised by the villagers are all wild duck eggs that were picked up from the reeds in the past, and taken back to hatch for the hens at home.

Wild ducks are very good to feed, the survival rate of hatched ducklings is very high, free-range in the yard grows quickly, ducklings begin to lay eggs after half a year, once an important economic source for the villagers, and now it is an indispensable dish to entertain tourists, five yuan a duck egg, is still in short supply.

A female duck can produce about 100 duck eggs a year, when the village was poor in the past, the villagers did not pick up wild duck eggs from the reeds to go home, to increase some nutrition for the family, but the villagers will leave one or two wild duck eggs in the nest every time, and everyone will not do the things that are fishing.

After walking a few steps, Niuniu found a duck nest, looking at the wild duck eggs exposed under the body of the female duck in the nest, the little girl was greedy, smashing the small mouth, the duck eggs pickled by the wife are delicious, the red duck egg yolk is oily, Niuniu likes to eat it the most, that is, the duck protein white is not delicious, Niuniu often secretly digs the egg yolk and puts the egg white into Fang Yun's bowl.

Running up on the feet, trying to get the duck eggs from under the mother duck, the little girl simply hugged the mother duck to the side, and took out two wild duck eggs and put them in the backpack.

Happily touching the smooth feathers of the female duck, carrying the female duck back to the nest, Niu Niu happily praised the female duck for generously contributing duck eggs, making delicious pickled duck eggs for Niu Niu, encouraging the mother duck to lay more eggs, and Niu Niu can eat a lot of pickled duck eggs in the future.

The mother duck is about to cry, don't take such a bully duck, take her own eggs in front of herself, and lay more eggs for her to eat, this little fat girl is too bad, she snorted weakly, and she didn't know whether to respond to Niuniu's encouragement, or protest against Niuniu's justified thief's behavior.

For the little fat girl's blatant robbery of the female duck, Zhang Yali and the three really don't know what to say, Meng Xiaoyu can't wait to write a letter to give to Niuniu, the little fat girl is too powerful, when the self-raised hen hugs the nest, the owner doesn't dare to touch its eggs casually, not to mention the wild duck, moving a female duck around, it is simply regarded as nothing.

The little chubby girl is obviously not a good guide, she has completely inherited Fang Yun's naughty character when she was a child, shouting and screaming everywhere, picking up the waterfowl that is holding the nest from time to time, looking at the eggs in the nest with a smile, seeing a egret laying eggs, she squatted on the side with great interest and watched strongly, eager to step forward to help her, and directly pulled out the half-exposed bird eggs.

Zhang Yali and the three of them were helpless, so they had to follow Niuniu to run around, although the population of ordinary waterfowl is also their job to roughly count, but now the most important thing is to make a count of the rare birds in the reservoir, but unfortunately Niuniu doesn't know what the three big sisters are talking about.

Glancing at each other with a wry smile, the three of them sighed at the same time, the little girl is really unreliable, fortunately, the three of them don't really plan, let Niuniu take them to do a good job in the statistics of cherishing waterbirds, what they want is to use Niuniu to get acquainted with the reedy waterbirds, so that the waterbirds can slowly accept themselves, and they can investigate slowly by themselves in the future.

"Big sister, look, there's a nest of birds there, hey, these birds are so ugly, they are bare and have no hair on their heads." The little chubby girl had sharp eyes, found a nest of birds that had just hatched for a long time, and ran over with great interest, and took a closer look at the little beak, the birds were so ugly, not cute at all.

Looking at the birds in the eye sockets, it is indeed a little not very good-looking, twelve small birds crowded in the nest, seeing that someone is coming, the mouth is wide open and begging for food, these birds are all black, only the head is yellow. color, bare without feathers.

looked at the parent birds staring at the three of them on the side, the three of them had no interest, ordinary black water chickens, although they are also protected animals, but they belong to the kind of very low level.

Wu Lili looked around boredly, except for when Niuniu was playing with water birds at the beginning, she saw many cherished water birds, and she had been in the reeds for more than an hour, and she had not found a trace of cherished water birds, not that there were few cherished water birds in the reeds, but for so long, the little girl didn't go far at all, and she shouted and watched the bird's nest along the way.

There are so many bird nests in the reeds that you can see one or two bird nests in two steps, and even some several bird nests are next to each other, according to the little girl's way of walking, even if it is dark, I don't know how far I can go.

"What's that!?" Wu Lili's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the front with surprise on her face and shouted excitedly.

Looking in the direction of Wu Lili's finger, Zhang Yali and Meng Xiaoyu were suddenly overjoyed, there was a shallow puddle in front of them, and a group of red-crowned cranes were frolicking in the puddle, with an elegant and beautiful posture, which made the three of them fascinated.

"Wow, the crane is dancing!" The little fat girl is short, she can't see what the big sister is looking at, she is anxious to drill through the reeds, her eyes are bright, she clapps her little hands vigorously, and screams.

"Crane Dance!" Awakened by the cheers of the little fat girl, the three of them looked at each other in disbelief, and said in unison, everyone's luck is too good today, you must know that red-crowned cranes are very vigilant, and it is difficult for humans to get close to them, let alone watch them dance up close.

Every year in late March and early April, shortly after the red-crowned cranes arrive at their breeding grounds, they begin to pair and occupy the nesting area, where the male and female declare their possession of the territory by constantly chirping to each other in the nesting area. Courtship is also accompanied by a chirp, and often the male has his beak pointing upwards, his head and neck raised, his head and neck raised, and his wings towering, singing loudly, making a loud "heh, heh, heh".

The females echo the chorus and then chirp, jump and dance to each other. The dancing posture is also very graceful, or stretching the neck and raising the head, or bending the knees, or stepping in place, or jumping in the air, and sometimes picking up small stones or small branches and throwing them into the air.

The arrival of a few people did not affect the passion of the red-crowned crane at all, and continued to dance their own dance steps leisurely, not to mention Zhang Yali and the three, even the lively and active Niuniu also saw it with relish, applauded from time to time, and regarded the red-crowned crane as a trick.
