A delightful scene captured the essence of nature's tenderness. A pair of great crested grebes was seen lovingly nurturing their newly hatched chicks in the serene wetlands of Dongling Park in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province.
The tiny birds alternated between snuggling under their mother's wings for warmth and peeking out curiously to explore their surroundings, infusing the summer atmosphere with their enchanting presence.
Each year, dozens of great crested grebes choose the wetlands in Shenyang as their seasonal home. Here, they perform courtship rituals, build nests, lay eggs, and care for their young, transforming the wetlands into a vibrant sanctuary of avian life.
