In recent years, with the ecological environment of Jinhua continuously improving, more and more migratory birds are flying to the city for the winter. The news that cygnets—a national secondary key protected wild animal—had arrived at Huhaitang Lake attracted a mass of photography enthusiasts.

In a couple of days the birds were such a common sight that many photographers were hiding with their cameras so as not to disturb them; for instance, nearly 30 of them were there at 4:00 o’clock on November 10. There were more than 70 cygnets and 10 black-headed gulls caught by photographers’ cameras that day. (By Shi Bufa, translated by Wang Junwen, edited by Kendra Fiddler)
