新華社北京4月11日電(記者俠克、田晨旭)近日多位攝影愛好者在位於北京市豐台區的蓮花池公園拍攝到國家二級重點保護野生動物鶚(魚鷹)捕魚的精彩畫面。
The footage shows the bird of prey hovering in the air and suddenly diving, its claws like hooks straight into the water, and the water splashes in an instant. When it flapped its wings and flew up, a silver fish struggled in its claws, showing great fishing skills.
Ospreys, also known as ospreys, belong to the genus Osprey in the family Eagle Osprey and are apex predators in freshwater ecosystems. It has extremely high requirements for the habitat environment, and usually only selects water with clear water quality and abundant fish resources.
The reporter learned that through continuous ecological management, the transparency of the water body has been significantly improved, and the aquatic vegetation has been restored well, which provides an ideal environment for fish reproduction and attracts more and more birds to come to inhabit.
In recent years, Beijing has continued to make efforts to improve the ecological environment, strictly implemented the river chief system and lake chief system, carried out refined management of the city's rivers and lakes, and continuously improved the water quality of the city's major rivers. The increasing area of urban green space provides a strong guarantee for the habitat, migration and reproduction of wild animals.
With the continuous improvement of Beijing's ecological environment, many national-level protected animals have frequently appeared. Among them, the white-tailed sea eagle, a rare bird of prey known as the "tiger of the sky", has flown to the large open water of Pinggu in Beijing for several years; The Great Bustard, a national first-class protected animal, appeared in the Tongzhou Sub-center; The once unrecorded Aurora jays are now frequently found in Fangshan, Daxing, Fengtai and other places; The distribution area of species such as black mandarin duck, mandarin duck and brown horse pheasant has been expanding. The chestnut-bellied bunting, which has disappeared for nearly 80 years, has returned to the Miyun Mountains.
