As spring arrives, migratory birds return to the northern parts of China, bringing new life to the awakening landscape. Keluke Lake in Delingha city, northwest China's Qinghai Province, has become a bustling haven for migratory birds.

On Feb. 21, 2025, flocks of egrets and whooper swans gracefully stretched their wings over the shimmering waters of Keluke Lake. Meanwhile, red-crested pochards, Eurasian coots, white-tailed eagles, and mallards playfully glided across the lake, weaving between swaying reeds as they rested and foraged.
