As the temperature rises, the charming black-faced spoonbills are making their way from Zhongshan City in south China's Guangdong Province to northern China.
With only about 6,000 remaining in the world, the black-faced spoonbill his under first-class national protection in China. The black-faced spoonbills have flat beaks that look like the Chinese musical instrument pipa. They usually bury their beaks in the water and shake their heads from side to side to catch fish.
Every winter, they migrate south from the far north and fly back between March and April for the coming breeding season.
The improved natural environment in the city has made it an ideal spot for rare birds seeking shelter during the winter season, and more have gathered there in recent years.
