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.
