Rare bird spotted for second time in Hainan county

Xue said the wetland park is dedicated to long-term ecological protection and restoration, carrying out environmental education and public awareness campaigns to create favorable habitats for numerous rare species. As the current season coincides with the migration of birds flying south for the winter, the park's management center is collaborating with public security departments on a special operation to protect migrating birds.

In a separate sighting, an Eurasian hobby, a nationally protected second-class wildlife species, was observed in the park in late October. This was the first recorded sighting of the bird species in Changjiang, adding another entry to the park's bird inventory. To date, 214 bird species have been recorded in the Haiwei National Wetland Park, including three classified as national first-class protected species and 40 as national second-class protected species.
