A group of swans flew over the Swan Lake at Fuhe Wetland, Wuhan City, as the sun set on October 31, 2022. A large number of wild birds such as egrets, bean geese, snipe and cormorants can also be seen settling here. 

According to Tang Guoshe, leader of the bird protection team in Wuhan, the Fuhe Wetland is ecologically sound and has been home to tens of thousands of migratory birds.

Wuhan welcomes batches of migratory birds in late autumn every year, many of which are first class national protected animals, such as Baer's pochard, black stork and Dalmatian pelicans.

Statistics show that number of wild bird species and new bird species spotted in Wuhan, a city populated by over 10 million residents, has increased to 447 in recent years. The ongoing conservation and restoration work for wetlands in the city is attracting more and more feathered elves.
