More than 10,000 migratory birds from 27 species, including swans, Eurasian spoonbills, eastern spot-billed ducks, and pied avocets, have arrived at Poyang Lake in Hukou county, Jiujiang city, east China's Jiangxi Province, half a month earlier than usual, according to the Jiangxi Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Administration.
Since the water level at Poyang Lake has dropped to a record low this year, Hukou county has taken measures including water replenishment to keep the level within a reasonable range.
