Spring in central China’s Wushan Mountains isn’t just about cherry blossoms – it’s also the season when Asian paradise-flycatchers return to their ancestral forests! 🌳 These elegant migratory birds, nicknamed \"fairies\" for their flowing tail feathers, are busy building nests and raising chicks amid the blooming wilderness.
🍃 Why Wushan? The lush ecosystem provides a bug buffet 🐛 for hungry parents feeding their babies. Local researchers say this annual migration showcases nature’s delicate balance – tender leaves attract insects, which fuel one of Asia’s most dazzling bird families.
📹 Pro tip: Don’t miss the viral video of a flycatcher couple tag-teaming parenting duties – it’s like a K-drama, but with feathers! 💖 While conservation efforts protect these habitats, climate shifts remind us all to #ProtectThePollinators.
