China Shaanxi Hongjiannao Relict Gulls - 04 Jun 2024
This photo taken on June 4, 2024 shows a relict gull flying at Hongjiannao National Nature Reserve in Shenmu, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. At present, nearly 5,000 nests of relict gulls have entered the incubation and brooding period in the Hongjiannao Lake, China's largest desert freshwater lake. After years of treatment, the lake has regained vitality and has become an important habitat and breeding place for relict gull, which is under first-class national protection in China.
