【大美广东·中英双语】优质生态环境吸引“最美过客”，“鸟中熊猫”彩鹮首次现身东莞

Special guest: glossy ibis spotted in Dongguan!

An image of a glossy ibis, a rare bird once thought extinct in China, has recently been captured by an amateur bird photographer in Li Village, Xiegang Town, Dongguan.

The endangered glossy ibis, known as the “ Panda among Birds”, is the national first-class protected animal. The color of its plumage changes with the angle of light, hence the name “glossy ibis”.

According to the president of the Dongguan Bird Watching Association, the glossy ibis sighted in Li Village, Xiegang Town is a passing bird on its way to migration. For the perfect food and environment here, the bird stayed briefly to replenish its strength before migrating again.

【大美广东】Special guest: glossy ibis spotted in Dongguan!优质生态环境吸引“最美过客”，“鸟中熊猫”彩鹮首次现身东莞

近日，有鸟类摄影爱好者在东莞市谢岗镇黎村发现罕见的鸟类品种——彩鹮，这也是其首次现身东莞。彩鹮属于国家一级重点保护野生动物，濒临绝迹，有“鸟中熊猫”之称，其羽色会随着光照角度而改变，由此得名“彩鹮”。

东莞观鸟协会会长介绍，这次在谢岗镇黎村新发现的彩鹮属于旅鸟，在迁徙途中经过谢岗，由于黎村稻田的食物和环境非常适合它们的生活，因此短暂停留，补充体力后将再次迁徙。
