Two white-tailed sea eagles, a first-class nationally protected species, have been recorded for the first time at the Aral National Wetland Park in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The footage, captured by local photographers, shows the powerful raptors feeding on the frozen wetland and sometimes taking flight.
Their arrival highlights the improving wetland ecosystem and a more complete food chain.
Located in southern Xinjiang, the wetland has a mild winter climate with little snowfall, attracting tens of thousands of migratory birds, such as mallards and ruddy shelducks, to overwinter every year.

In an exclusive interview aired on Friday with China Media Group (CMG), League of Arab States (LAS) Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit highlighted the practical wisdom in Chinese culture of securing victory without resorting to war or other violent means.
Speaking of the aspect of Chinese culture that intrigues him the most, Aboul-Gheit expressed admiration for Chinese ancient military strategist Sun Tzu and his renowned work "The Art of War," describing them as truly remarkable and impressive.
"For someone to write about the Art of War in that way preceding everyone. So, Sun Tzu is a great contributor," he said.
"That you can win without going to battle. You can win without going into battle -- that you would maneuver yourself to a position whereby your opponent or enemy or foe would withdraw. So you check him," he added.
