In late April, nearly 1,000 blue-tailed bee-eaters have returned as expected to the banks of the Nujiang River in Baoshan, Yunnan province, where they have begun excavating nests in the sandy cliffs to kick off a new breeding season.
The birds are hard at work, creating a scene reminiscent of a bustling construction site. They use their sharp, slender beaks to carve out new homes.
