In recent days, this year's largest wave of migratory birds reached the wetland of Fuhe, Wuhan, Hubei province, bringing with it the best time for birdwatching.

Numerous species are gathering over the vast waters of the wetland. Packs of bean geese and gray geese forage and rest in the strands, while gadwalls, green-winged teals, and wigeons cruise among the reeds. The elegant Eurasian spoonbills seek food with their shovel-shaped beaks, and pied avocets are busy striding along the bank.
