I saw the black-necked crane foraging in the snow in the mountains of Zhaotong!

I traveled thousands of miles to see the black-necked crane in the mountains of Zhaotong, Yunnan~~ Someone even bought a telephoto lens specifically. Because it can only be shot from a distance, I found that the lens is still not enough when I use it The black-necked crane is a national first-class protected animal. Local materials show that there are only more than 8,000 in the world (a documentary a few days ago said that there are now 15,000 in the world), and there are more than 1,800 in the mountains of Zhaotong, which is the place with the most black-necked cranes in the world. These black-necked cranes fly from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the mountains of Zhaotong to overwinter every November, and fly back before March of the following year. People say that these black-necked cranes usually fall in love in the mountains, and reproduce offspring after breeding on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The black-necked crane has several gathering points in the mountains. At 11 o'clock every day and 1 o'clock in the afternoon, workers will specifically feed them into the mountains. Therefore, during these two time periods, the black-necked cranes are the most concentrated. Although I can't shoot the black-necked cranes by the water at close range, I happened to encounter a few black-necked cranes foraging in the snow on the mountain on the way back, very close to the roadside, which is still very lucky
