Chapter 1025 1036. Migratory Bird Base
Li Xiao: Hello everyone, now we will introduce three kinds of migratory birds here - black swans, white swans and gray cranes. These three kinds of birds have very unique appearance and habits, and they are really worth admiring.

Audience A: Then, Li Xiao, what does a black swan look like?

Li Xiao: The black swan is a very beautiful large water bird. Its body is completely covered with jet-black feathers, which are very shiny.Their bright orange beaks and paws are very eye-catching.Black swans are large, graceful swimmers with a long neck and curved wings.

Audience B: What about the white swan?How is it different from a black swan?
Li Xiao: The white swan is a more famous water bird. Their feathers are white, very white, and look very pure.Unlike the black swan, the white swan has a red mouth and a pair of black eyes, very beautiful.White swans usually live in water environments such as lakes and swamps, and their swimming posture is also very graceful, making them very graceful water swimmers.

Audience C: What about gray cranes?What kind of birds are they?

Li Xiao: Gray cranes are elegant, medium-sized birds with gray and white plumage patterns.They have very elongated necks and curved beaks, making them ideal for foraging on water and in swamps.Commonly found in swamps and lakes, gray cranes are very good at hunting small fish, crustaceans and insects.They are also so graceful in flight that they are often used in performances and sculptures.

Audience D: Are there any differences in the habits of these three birds?

Li Xiao: These three types of birds are all waterfowl, and they live in waters such as lakes, rivers and swamps.But their habits are still different, for example, black swans and white swans are very close.

While Li Xiao was introducing to the audience, a tour guide also introduced to his guests:
Migratory bird landscape refers to the natural landscape formed in a specific area when birds migrate.These landscapes include not only places where birds inhabit and forage, but also a series of natural elements, such as water bodies, wetlands, swamps, forests, grasslands, etc. These places are necessary conditions for the survival and reproduction of migratory birds.

The migratory bird landscape is characterized by its rich biodiversity.There are often many different habitats and habitat types along the migration routes of migratory birds. Therefore, migratory bird landscapes often contain many different kinds of plants and animals, forming a complex and rich ecosystem.In addition, the migratory bird landscape also provides a resource-rich natural environment for local residents and promotes the development of the local economy.

Water bodies are one of the most important elements in migratory bird landscapes.Water bodies not only provide drinking water and food for birds to survive, but also provide migration routes for many migratory birds.Rivers, lakes and oceans are prime habitat and feeding grounds for migratory birds.The wetland is also a very important ecosystem in the migratory bird landscape, and is an important habitat and feeding ground for many migratory birds.Wetlands include swamps, mudflats, river deltas, salt lakes, estuarine wetlands and coastal wetlands, among others.

Forests and grasslands are also very important ecosystems in migratory bird landscapes.Many migratory birds roost and forage in forests and grasslands during their migration.These places provide rich food resources for birds, while also providing important shelter and protection for birds.

The formation of migratory bird landscape requires a long-term process, and also requires the joint action of various natural and human factors.During the migration of migratory birds, environmental changes, human activities and climate change will all have an impact on the migratory bird landscape.Therefore, protecting the landscape of migratory birds requires not only scientific protection and management of natural resources, but also reasonable planning and management of human activities to ensure the safety and survival of migratory birds.

Li Xiao walked to Yujia Wharf and saw an antique wooden boat parked beside the pier.He walked over and stepped on the boat carefully, feeling the slight bumps of the boat, he couldn't help but relax, and his mood became more comfortable.

Li Xiao turned on the live broadcast and introduced this quaint wharf to the audience.He said: "This is a small wharf on the ancient canal of Hangzhou, with a long history and rich cultural heritage. The buildings on the wharf all retain the classical style, revealing the unique charm of Jiangnan water town."

"There are many small shops opened by the proprietress here, selling all kinds of special snacks and souvenirs, which are very suitable for tourists to visit here." Li Xiao looked at the small shops on the pier and introduced to the audience.

At this time, Li Xiao noticed an old man sitting by the pier with a fishing net in his hand, fishing.He walked over and chatted with the old man.

"Old man, do you get anything good from fishing here?" Li Xiao asked.

"Hey, sometimes you can catch some small fish and shrimp, and make some steamed or braised, it tastes very delicious." The old man replied with a smile.

"That's really great, it sounds delicious. The water quality here should be very good, so there are so many fish and shrimp?" Li Xiao continued to ask.

"That's right, the water here is very clean and very suitable for living and farming, so the quality of the fish and shrimp here is also very good," said the old man.

After hearing this, Li Xiao felt very interested, so he asked again: "Then can you teach me how to fish?"

"Of course, do you want to try it?" The old man warmly invited.

Li Xiao nodded and learned fishing skills from the old man.In no time, he learned how to cast, reel in and judge the size and species of fish.He saw that the old man caught a big carp, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he wanted to catch a big fish too.

Standing on the pier, Li Xiao looked at the slowly rippling ripples on the water, and couldn't help but look forward to it.He greeted the old man beside him and asked if he could try fishing, and the old man happily agreed to him.

The old man handed Li Xiao a fishing rod, and briefly introduced how to use it and precautions.Li Xiao listened patiently, memorizing every step.Then, he pulled up the fishing rod, gently threw the hook into the water, and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.

"The water area here is very large, and there are many kinds of fish. What kind of fish do you want to catch?" the old man asked curiously.

"I want to try carp fishing." Li Xiao said.

"Well, then you need to find a location close to the aquatic plants. Carp like to forage in the aquatic plants." The old man gave instructions.

Li Xiao picked up the fishing rod, walked straight to the place where the aquatic plants were denser, found a good-looking spot, and continued to wait for the fish to take the bait.After a while, he finally felt a little strength coming from the fishing line, and he knew that the fish had taken the bait.

Li Xiao gently pulled up the fishing rod, feeling the pull of the fish.The fishing rod was bent into an arc, and he knew that the fish was not small.Carefully he retracted the line, bringing the fish closer little by little.Finally, he saw a golden carp caught by him.

"Wow, this is really a big carp!" Li Xiao shouted excitedly.

The old man came over and knew at a glance that it was a good carp.He admired Li Xiao's fishing skills, helped him remove the hook, and released the carp.

"The waters and mountains and rivers here are very good. An old fisherman like me fishes here every day to absorb the fresh air and relax, which is a kind of enjoyment in life." The old man said with a smile.

Li Xiao felt the peaceful and pleasant atmosphere, and felt the joy of fishing.

Li Xiao changed to a fishing net to catch fish. He threw the fishing net into the water and waited quietly for the arrival of the fish.Before long, he felt the weight in the net, and hurriedly pulled up the fishing net, only to see a few small silver fishes in the net.

Li Xiao put the small fish aside and threw it into the fishing net again, waiting for more harvests.The fishing net was shaking in the water, and a big fish swam in. Li Xiao quickly pulled up the fishing net, only to see a long carp jumping out of the water and falling back heavily into the water.

Li Xiao was very happy. He put the carp into the bucket and continued to throw in the fishing net, harvesting small and big fish from time to time, gradually filling up the bucket.At this time, as the sun was setting, Li Xiao put away his fishing nets and ended his pleasant fishing trip for a day.
