Chongqing Radio & Television reporter Li Xiaohua and Tan Hongjun

In the poems of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi wrote: 'Bamboo outside, three or two branches of peach blossoms, spring river water warms the ducks first knows. 'Rhubarb greens fill the ground, duck buds are short, this is the time when river pufferfish wants to go up. 'This period, spring returns to the earth, all things revive, along the Yangtze River at the west, there are nearly a hundred wild ducks here settled.

The wild ducks' habitat is on the riverside, a tidal zone on rock, because wild ducks have strong flying ability, whenever a ship passes by, nearly a hundred wild ducks fly up in the sky in groups, which is spectacular

Use a camera to capture them, some of their feathers are dark brown, some are black and white, and some are very brilliant. Through aerial photography, observing the flocks of wild ducks from a distance, they are in pairs or groups, some chasing and playing, some 'grooming' themselves, and some flying on the water, occasionally a few white herons rest here, full of interest

The reporter discovered that behind this rock formation is a large forest, the ecological environment is beautiful, this water area is also a slack water area, fish food is abundant, and with the increasing awareness of protecting wild birds, the wild ducks choose to settle here
