Egrets like to live in groups. In ancient times, the egret bird symbolized freedom, nobility and purity. Egrets that can fly to the sky are free. Standing in the unpolluted mud, it is quiet and abnormal, and its white coat color is a symbol of purity. The neck is slender, not easy to yield, and more expensive. Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "A line of egrets soars into the sky", which is enough to arouse people's reverie. When flying in groups, it was orderly and not chaotic. The ancients used the order of herons to contain the movement of officials. In the pattern of official uniforms in Qing dynasty, egret is the pattern of seven civil servants.
Heron and road are homophonic. Auspicious patterns with egrets, lotus flowers or lotus leaves express the meaning of "connecting one family all the way". Draw an egret and hibiscus flowers together, which means "glory all the way" An egret and a peony are painted together, which means "riches and honour all the way". Being an official in politics and benefiting one party is honesty. Draw two egrets and a violet flower together, which means "the road is clean"

Egrets swim better than mandarin ducks. They are loyal to love all their lives and have elegant temperament. It is more appropriate to use them to express that lovers are well, jack shall have Jill. According to relevant data, when male herons show their love, they often stretch their necks very long to show their aristocratic temperament. Or bend your long legs and fall on the branches to fully express your love; More male herons like to show off their feathers, stomp their feet and shake branches to show their strength and strength, so as to win the attention of female herons. After the female heron flew to the platform of the male heron, love began. You kissed my love. I can see that they are very affectionate and kissed. We can't understand other behavioral languages.
In the past, there were many rivers and lakes in Conghua area, which were rich in fish and shellfish resources, and the forest coverage area reached more than 70%. Many birds like to live in Conghua, and passing migratory birds also like to stay in Conghua for a while. When I was a teenager, I often saw many egrets flying in the sky. In big villages like Fengyuan Village and Dajiangpu Village, there are large fish ponds in front of the village and large geomantic forests behind the village. In the tall canopy of Fengshui forest, you can often see the big bird's nest built with branches. Most of these nests are egrets' nests. Listening to the old man in Xihu Village, he said that several fish ponds in front of the village are very big, and there are also many egrets' nests on the lattice trees in the Feng Shui forest behind the village. After catching small fish by the pond or Liuxi River, they often fly to the nest with their mouths in their mouths to feed the little egrets. With the filling of fish ponds, there are more and more buildings, and the shadow of egrets is less and less.

In recent years, the government has paid more attention to ecological construction, planted trees and built a number of wetland parks. The natural environment is getting better and better, and more and more birds are seen. All the egrets from other places flew back. Egrets can often be seen in Lutian, Liangkou, Hot Springs, Yunling Lake Wetland Park, and rice fields near Liuxi River and its banks. I have seen many photographers waiting for herons with long guns and short guns in Shuipu Village and Shixiang Village of Lvtian. They stopped me when I tried to shoot their focused photography. They analyzed that they are professionals and the cost of being photographed is very high. After that, they left the camera and let me shoot the frames of photographic equipment, which made me addicted!

When picking up stones in Liuxi River, we often see a small group of egrets foraging and resting in the river. They are very alert and will fly at the slightest sign. I saw dozens of egrets at once in Yunling Lake this time. They look calm and relaxed. They look like gentlemen, which is rare. According to the information in the circle of friends, they have been foraging here for many days, and the number of herons is increasing, or they are not egrets in the same community, and they may also inhabit the big trees in the nearby forest at night. An acquaintance who often fishes by the lake told me that there are more fish in the river this year than in previous years. Rich food is the main reason why more and more egrets come here to feed! In the past, some people bombed electricity, electric fish and poisonous fish, which almost destroyed the fish resources of Liuxi River, and there were fewer and fewer birds. Now the river is governed by law, and the responsibility system for river chiefs is implemented, which has put an end to many bad behaviors and gradually increased the number of fish in the river. Conghua is the back garden of Guangzhou, and the Tropic of Cancer just passes through the south. The well-preserved monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest in this area is particularly rich in forest vegetation. It is the most complete, largest, relatively concentrated and primitive natural ecosystem in Guangzhou, and it is a natural habitat paradise for various birds.
Egret is a national protected animal. As far as I know, catching an egret will be punished with imprisonment and fines of less than five years, or even more than ten years in serious cases. I hope you don't try your best!
I like nature. Blue sky and white clouds, flowing water, lush bamboo forests and high mountains and canyons are all the best gifts from heaven. Egrets and birds are like elves. With them, the world will be full of vitality. They are friends of human beings and have their place in nature. Their beauty is with the sky, and herons live long. Let's take care of them!
