CBCGDF Volunteers Welcome Oriental White Storks back to their "Upgraded Resettlement Rooms" | BCON

 Water is crucial for migratory birds. Rivers, lakes, streams, and swamps are ideal places for them to feed, build nests, and drink.

On the morning of October 8, 2023, in the reed marsh ecological wetland of Gaoyou Lake, Jiangsu, as the last steel pipe pole of the artificial bird's nest was successfully lifted, volunteers of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation(CBCGDF), from the State Grid Gaoyou Power Supply Company built four artificial bird's nests for Oriental white storks who are about to return. The "upgraded resettlement rooms" (artificial bird nest) are all installed in place.

Gaoyou is the second Oriental white stork protected area in China. In recent years, the local wetland environment has continued to be improved, and Gaoyou Lake is rich in fish and shrimp resources. More and more Oriental white storks choose to spend the winter here, and nearly 100 of them "migratory birds" have become "resident birds".

However, as the weather turns cooler and this year's migration of migratory birds approaches, the artificial bird's nest on the tower has not received the expected "residents" as in previous years.

In order to build a new home suitable for Oriental white storks, CBCGDF volunteers from the State Grid Gaoyou Power Supply Company began to look for a new place to build artificial bird nests. They noticed the Gaoyou Lake Reed Marsh Ecological Wetland, surrounded by water, and there are often Oriental white storks wandering among them. They gather in groups on the beach, sometimes foraging for food and playing in the water, sometimes spreading their wings and flying lightly. Their snow-white figures are dotted on the lake like stars, forming a beautiful picture.

Off the beaten track, undisturbed, with food and drink, this wetland is away from the lines. The stable operation of the power grid and the habitat and survival of the Oriental white storks are guaranteed. This is the perfect place to install an artificial bird's nest. Electricity workers immediately decided to build four more wild artificial bird nests around the wetland.
