Editor's note: Hidden World of Birds in City is about exploring a world of birds that usually goes unnoticed in urban spaces. This episode features photographs from Wang Xiaobo, who has been bird-watching near his residential community in Beijing for the past eight years.

A small pond in photographer Wang Xiaobo's residential community is a popular spot for birds. Last week, a black-winged stilt made a rare appearance. This was only the second time that he saw the bird in the community in the past eight years.

Based on Wang's observation, the bird must have been exhausted from a long flight, as it was reluctant to move even with people passing by or being chased by other birds in the pond.
