Nearly 100 young swans were spotted enjoying the warm winter weather at the Hongze Lake Wetland in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. The mild local climate and rich ecological environment provide an ideal habitat for these migratory birds, allowing them to thrive during the colder months.
Hongze Lake, the fourth-largest freshwater lake in China, spans approximately 23,000 hectares. This expansive wetland is home to a diverse array of bird and fish species, making it a vital stopover for many migratory birds each year.
The favorable conditions at Hongze Lake Wetland not only support the swans but also contribute to the overall biodiversity of the region. Conservation efforts in the area continue to ensure that these natural habitats remain intact for future generations of wildlife and visitors to enjoy.
