Poyang Lake 鄱陽湖 12.2015

This winter water level at Poyang Lake was much higher than the average; this affected the growth of the preferred diet of Siberian Cranes. As a result, we didn't find the concentration of Siberian Cranes like the previous years and we just managed to find about 50 nos. in this trip. Probably they might be dispersed over a larger area to look for suitable diets. This is a worrying sign for the conservation of this critically endangered bird species if the planned dam project there is implemented,
