China News Service, Urumqi, November 9 (Wang Xiaojun, Yin Lin and Yuejun) "This year, the water environment of our wetland park has improved, and birds have come earlier. For example, black storks, swans, egrets and other birds are more numerous, and the number of Populus euphratica in the wetland park is large. The leaves turn yellow later, and various birds stay for a long time, more than 20 days longer than last year." said Ilham Balhan, head of Luohu Luoke Management and Protection Station of the State-owned Forestry Administration of Xinjiang Yuli County.

With the improvement of the wetland environment, the migratory birds are nostalgic and prolong their habitat time.
