Come here every summer!The "Sky Concert" in Ningbo Jiangshan is super shocking

"You see, the darkness is all the swallows, this scene is too spectacular!" During this time, around 19 o'clock every day, on Dongfang Road, Jiangshan Town, Wuzhou District, Ningbo, the landscape of "Swallow Lold" will be staged.

Thousands of swallows flew from all directions, and after circling in the air for a while, they stopped on the high -voltage wires on both sides. Local villagers said that such scenes have lasted for more than 10 years. From July to mid -August, swallows will come as appointment. Experts believe that this behavior is related to the migration of swallows, indicating that the local ecological environment is good.

Thousands of swallows assembled every evening

It's been more than 10 years

At 19:00 on July 31, the sky was darker. On Dongfang Road, Jiangshan Town, people who took the cold at the alley suddenly moved to the big tree on the side. "It's time, they are coming!"

At this time, there was a sound of birds sounding in the sky, and the sound was getting louder and louder. A few minutes later, I saw a group of swallows flying from all directions, rotating, hovering, and dark pressure in the air, and the light of the sky was covered.

Every summer, this group of swallows arrived as expected

It didn't take long for the swallows that were still flying in the air stopped on the high -voltage wires on the side of the road. Looking at it, more than 200 meters long wires on both sides of Dongfang Road were full of swallows, and even the wires in the corner alley were occupied by them. Interestingly, the swallows are very orderly, and they seem to have their own exclusive positions.

"Swallows will fly over in July and August every year, and it will gradually become less until September. Basically, the coming is a small swallow, and the number is unclear!" Zhang Huiqin, 51, lives near Dongfang Road, Jiangshan Town. She Said that swallows are generally flying between 18: 30-19: 00, and the next morning the next morning. This situation has lasted more than 10 years, and everyone is accustomed to it.

Local villagers love and hate swallows

Dare to stop on both sides, set off firecrackers to drive

Soon, the sky became a huge "five -line score", and some even came to take pictures from the urban area of ​​Ningbo.

Zhang Huiqin said that the villagers love and hate these swallows. "Swallows are birds and can eat pests, but so many swallows pull up bird feces. That is really troublesome. The roadside dare not stop!"

The reporter at the scene saw that a black car parked on the side of the road was cast on the spot. Not far away, the residents who took Liang all hid under the eaves from the alley.

Local resident Jiang Aiju said that a few years ago, in order to solve the problem of swallow shit, the residents tried to put firecrackers to drive, and the swallows were scattered around, but the next day, they flew back again. "No way, can't catch them, now everyone has to stop the car far away."

Ningbo Evening News reporter took this scene 9 years ago

He believes that this has a lot to do with the swallow southward movement

Zhang Haihua, Vice President of Ningbo Wildlife Protection Association and natural photographer Zhang Haihua, has taken many birds. There is a photo in his publishing "Wind Bell in the Cloud: The Legend of Ningbo Wild Bird". On the telephone pole, there is a lively supper shop underneath. Under the light, it became a different scenery. The photo was taken in 2013, named "Swallow's Market".

Zhang Haihua said that Jiayan has an interesting habit, that is, to set up night habitats and even form a "swallow market", which usually appears in the late stage or after the ends of the brooding period. From July to the beginning of August every year, it appears in Jiangshan Town.

Thousands of swallows stop on the wires Zhang Haihua/Photo

"Thousands of swallows flew from all directions, and the road was like a cloud. They stopped on the wires in turn, densely, but the distance between each other was relatively uniform, and it looked well. If you want to "in line", it will communicate with the adjacent swallows. If the other party recognizes it, it will move out of a vacant position; if the other party is unwilling, those who are late can only fly away and choose another habitat. "Although It has been after many years, but Zhang Haihua has remembered the scene of the year.

What is the reason why the swallows gather to Jiangshan every year? He believes that this phenomenon heralds that they are about to move southward. "This period of time, they have just completed the reproduction. Little Swallow may take it as a transit station, and then migrate collectively."

From July to August every year, come as scheduled

Experts believe that the local ecology is suitable for inhabitation

Swallow moved south, why do you prefer to stay in Jiangshan? This problem makes local villagers puzzling.

Zhuo Kaicun, deputy manager of the Dynamics Management Department of Ningbo Wild Zoo, said that from April to July each year is the reproduction period of swallows. From the end of August and early September, these summer migratory birds will become south to migrate south.

Right now, it is the time when the little swallow ended the nurturing and incubated nests, and the swallows kept "calling friends and friends" to strengthen their team. After September, this spectacular scene is difficult to find. Before the cold wave comes, they will migrate south in groups. "The weather is relatively cool in the evening and the temperature is appropriate, and the swallows will fly out collectively."

Why does this scene appear every year? Zhuo Kaisun explained that when swallows migrated in the coastal areas, they usually have fixed routes and habitats, so they stay in Jiangshan every year. "Swallows are mainly eaten with insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and more than 500,000 pests in a swallow can prey in a variety of pests in farmland in summer. And there are fewer interference factors near Jiangshan and many farmland. It's not surprising that it's not all here. "

Zhuo Kaicun said that swallows belong to the "three" protective animals (terrestrial wild animals with important ecology, science, and social value) and are protected by law. When the cluster of the gathered swallows reaches a certain number, it will have a good regulatory effect on the ecosystem, and it is not advisable to drive and not hurt them. According to my country's criminal law and relevant laws, for the "three" protection animals, one person capture one personally is illegal, and the capture of more than 20 or more constitutes a crime. Capturing more than 50 or more will be investigated serious criminal responsibility.

Every summer, come to Jiang Shan to listen to a "Sky Concert", but don't bother them.
