The first batch of winter migratory birds have arrived at the Hengling Lake Nature Reserve in Xiangyin County of central China's Hunan Province, about half a month earlier than in previous years.
Common cranes, Eurasian spoonbills and water birds including falcated ducks, ruddy shelducks and cormorants are seen strolling about and pecking for food at the lake.
Sitting at the confluence of East Dongting Lake and South Dongting Lake, the lake serves as a vital stopover and wintering ground along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.
Staff members said the reserve will receive the peak number of migratory birds in mid-November every year.
Workers are conducting regular patrols and strengthening the reserve management to create a favorable environment for the migratory birds.
