"Bird Wave" spectacle unfolds at Wolong Lake as migration season peaks

In late March, Wolong Lake in Shenyang, northeast China, welcomes its annual migratory bird season. Tens of thousands of birds sweep across the lake, forming a stunning "bird wave."

A key lake in the Liaohe River basin, it becomes a vital stopover each spring for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds, including Siberian cranes, oriental storks, wild geese and grey herons, as they rest and refuel for their journey.■
