The avocet, another new species of birds, was seen in Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park found on March 21. It is the important wildlife with high ecological, scientific and social value under national level protection and mainly habitats in the lake and wetland.

“With black and white stripes and two long thin legs, the avocet is known as ‘supermodel’ in bird circle. Besides, its beak is strange and broom-shaped and is funny when foraging, attracting many tourists to watch with great interest.”

The habitat of new bird species is undoubtedly another example of successful ecological restoration.
