In China, the crested treeswift is found only in rainforests across southwest China's Yunnan Province. Unlike other bird species, these dwellers of lush woodlands prefer relatively open ground with a sweeping field of view. The greyish plumage blends easily into the dead branches. From March to June, most crested treeswifts raise their young. This loving couple has just built a nest on top of dry branches. Soon new life will emerge here.
About 'Journeys in Nature': Yunnan Dehong Series
Yunnan Province in southwest China is one of the few regions in the country to have tropical rainforests. The rich flora and fauna reserves have turned Yunnan into a hub for wildlife enthusiasts as well as academic researchers. Dehong Prefecture, sitting at the western end of Yunnan, is a land of lush mountains and fertile dales. Boasting both tropical and subtropical features, it is endowed with ample sunlight and heat. The mountains offer a haven for wildlife. In this series, CGTN Nature takes you to Dehong's wild world.
