Nestled in eastern Fujian Province, Hongshuang Island is a lush paradise 🌿 where land meets sea. Known locally as “Bird Island,” its rolling hills of silvergrass and winding vines transform into a nursery for thousands of seabirds every April to July. The star resident? The striking black-tailed gull, flaunting its fiery red-tipped beak and sleek black tail feathers. 🐦
This biodiverse hotspot isn’t just for ornithologists—adventurers can witness flocks soaring above cliffs or diving into turquoise waters. The island’s role in coastal ecosystems highlights Fujian’s natural wonders, showcased in CGTN Nature’s Eastern Fujian Series. Check out their latest video to see these gulls in action!
