65438+ 10 month 12 day, the sun is shining. The reporter saw in Xuanwei Yueya Lake Wetland Park that crowds of tourists gathered on the dam to watch seagulls. Thousands of seagulls are flying on the lake. Tourists will rush to the shore when they are looking for food, and some seagulls will float on the water to find food.
"Seagulls have been wintering in Crescent Lake for more than 10 years. There are more than 7,000 seagulls wintering in Crescent Lake this year, more than 2,000 more than last year. In order to reassure seagulls for the winter, communities and tourists often feed them. " Ye Fangxiu, a staff member of Liulin Community in Wanshui Street, told the reporter, "During the epidemic in 2020, the community arranged special people to feed seagulls on the Crescent Lake Dam every day and organized caring people to feed them."
Yueya Lake Wetland Park is located in the south of Xuanwei City. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, more and more seagulls come here for the winter. They flew to Crescent Lake Wetland Park on June 5438+065438+1October of that year and will leave in March of the following year. Miao Caichun, a resident near Crescent Lake, said: "There are red-billed gulls, black-tailed gulls, and a gull wearing a' black hat', which only came in the New Year." It is understood that seagulls generally feed on small fish and other aquatic organisms and are distributed in Europe, Asia and North America. Every winter, they go to Wan Li to choose a suitable place for the winter.
The arrival of seagulls adds a beautiful scenery to the winter of Crescent Lake. Zhu Xue, who took her children to see seagulls, said happily, "In the past, you had to go to Kunming to see seagulls, but now you can see them in Crescent Lake. Now the air in Crescent Lake is good and the water quality is good. Seagulls like to come. We are so happy to see seagulls at home. " Today, Crescent Lake Wetland Park is home to more than 65,438+00 species of birds such as seagulls, wild ducks, egrets and kingfishers all the year round, making it a photography paradise for many local and foreign photographers. Crescent Lake Wetland Park has become a good place for Xuanwei citizens to sketch, fish, ride horses and walk, and it is an ideal place for citizens to entertain and relax.
Seagulls have wintered in Xuanwei for more than ten years, and the number has increased year by year, which is related to the improvement of the ecological environment of Crescent Lake. Zhang Keping, deputy director of Xuanwei Water Affairs Bureau, said: "Xuanwei has implemented long-term management of rivers and lakes and invested more than 50 million yuan in sewage interception projects around the lake to prevent sewage from flowing into Crescent Lake, improve the water quality of Crescent Lake, increase the number of fish and shrimp, and provide abundant food for seagulls."
In recent years, Xuanwei adheres to the idea that clear water and lush mountains are priceless, and strives to make every river, lake and reservoir become a beautiful landscape. At present, the water quality compliance rate of important functional areas of rivers and lakes in the city is above 90%, and the water quality compliance rate of centralized drinking water sources in cities (towns) is 100%. Excellent surface water bodies have been continuously improved, and the goal of "smooth river, clear water, green shore and beautiful scenery" has been basically achieved.
More people come to see seagulls. In order to create a good leisure and sightseeing environment, Liulin Community of Wanshui Street has set up a volunteer service team and a comprehensive law enforcement team to strengthen the management of shops, restaurants and tourists around Crescent Lake and keep the environment around the lake clean and tidy.
