The more than 700,000 migratory birds that descend on east China's Poyang Lake every winter are a sight for bird-watchers.
Tao Wenge was granted 1,200 yuan ($183) last month for his 1.3 hectares of rice destroyed by migratory birds.
"It was not much, but it's comforting," said the resident of Changbei village in Jiangxi province.
