Kunming welcomes black-headed gulls to its shores

Every year black-headed gulls fly to Kunming for the pleasant weather in winter.

As of Oct 18, more than 1,000 black-headed gulls arrived at Dianchi Lake in Kunming. It is expected that November will be the best time to anticipate the migration of the birds and enjoy their beauty.

The Kunming Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau has prepared more than 30 tons of grain this year and set up 62 feeding points to make sure they are well-fed in winter.

Authorities have taken measures to guide citizens to watch the gulls in an orderly fashion. They also regularly disinfect the habitat and monitor the health condition of the wintering gulls.
