On October 11th, the 2023 "Habitat Classroom" will start again! This time, the citizens brought their binoculars to Station 5 of the Ecological Greenway in the Outer Ring Forest of Changning, and under the guidance of experts, they watched birds together to explore this mysterious group of "forest elves".

At 9am on the same day, more than 30 citizens gathered at Station 5 of the Ecological Greenway in the Changning Outer Ring Forest Belt to participate in the fourth phase of the 2023 "Habitat Classroom" among the birds and trees. I usually enjoy observing various birds, and now it's the season changing. I really want to know which birds have arrived in Changning, "said Ms. Huang, a citizen.

In this issue of "Habitat Classroom", Zheng Yunxiang, an engineer from Shanghai Forestry Station and an outstanding individual in national bird protection, was invited to share with the citizens the current situation of wild birds in Shanghai, precautions for outdoor bird watching, bird search techniques, and identification criteria. Through pictures, text, audio, and other forms, everyone was introduced to a variety of wild birds. Although the names of the little azalea, the middle azalea, the big azalea, and the four tone azalea are similar, their calls are very different. "" The family magpie is a typical 'yellow throat', and the bright colors can facilitate feeding for the mother bird in the dim nest. "... Zheng Yunxiang's vivid explanation made the citizens listen attentively.

In autumn, birds skilled in long-distance flight embark on their journey of southward migration, and a large number of forest birds hidden in forests and grass can be found in the green spaces of parks in Changning District. Therefore, after explaining, Zheng Yunxiang led the citizens out of the post station to explore the "forest elves" in the ecological greenway of the outer ring forest belt together.

Not far away by the Xiajiabang River, citizens quickly discovered a white egret. Although the egret is a type of wading bird that often walks by the water, it actually cannot swim. "Zheng Yunxiang detailed the living habits of various birds to the citizens." It is very sensitive and often takes the initiative to attack and prey on small fish. "" It caught another fish! "The sharp eyed citizens saw this wonderful moment.

The night heron, a close relative of the egret, is also a common bird in the city. Its eyes are red and its night vision ability is strong. It is accustomed to wandering in the busy nights of the city and is rarely disturbed by human activities. "Upon hearing Zheng Yunxiang's words, the citizens would laugh heartily." It turns out that the night heron's home is also busy in the city

Holding binoculars, the citizens observed various wild birds of varying sizes, as well as many insects that freely shuttle through the greenway. Before, I didn't seem to feel the presence of birds and other wild animals around me, but through today's event, I saw a more diverse biological world, "said Ms. Zhou, a citizen.

I live nearby and often come here for walks and fresh air, but I rarely pay attention to the birds flying around. Today I learned a lot about distinguishing birds, and in the future, I can also come here to observe different birds! "Said Ms. Sun, a citizen happily.

It is reported that as one of the series of activities of the 2023 Shanghai Urban Space Art Season Changning District Outer Ring Ecological Greenway Practice Case Exhibition, this "Habitat Classroom" is jointly organized by the Changning District Ecological Environment Bureau and the Shanghai Museum of Nature. In recent years, Changning District has carried out many beneficial explorations in the protection of urban biodiversity, and many works have taken the lead in the city. The "Habitat Classroom", which was created last year, is also a brand project in Changning District in promoting biodiversity conservation. Since its inception, many experts and scholars from related fields have been invited to popularize biodiversity knowledge to the citizens, bringing biodiversity into the community and closer to the citizens, receiving widespread praise.
