Over the past two years, Rundan has become an avid bird-watcher. She has visited nearly all the parks in Fuzhou. Her favorite bird is the kestrel, which can hover in the air and swoop down on ground prey.

During this summer vacation, she went with her father on a birding tour to Guizhou province, where she captured images of birds, including the black-breasted thrush, white-throated fantail, black-throated sunbird and a blue-winged bird.

"What I like about birding is that you never know what bird you will encounter after waiting for a long time," the young bird-watcher says. "When the bird you were waiting for appears in front of you, you will hold your breath and feel like you are one of the birds, chasing one another."
