Mute Swans breeding in first-ever discovery

China Daily  

Patrollers have made the first discovery of Mute Swans breeding in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve in Dongying, Shandong province, this summer, with a pair of adult Mute Swans playing and foraging with their six cygnets captured. In July, the bird habitat at the Yellow River Estuary in Dongying, Shandong, was listed as a World Natural Heritage site as part of the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China. This area is a crucial stopover, wintering, and breeding site for migratory birds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, earning the nickname "International Airport for Birds" from experts both domestic and international. With the improvement of the ecological environment, the number of bird species living in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve has doubled over the past 30 years, increasing from 187 species to the current 373 species.
