Flocks of migratory birds, including over 10,000 wild geese, have recently been spotted at the Jingxin Wetland in Hunchun city, Yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture in Northeast China's Jilin province.

Bird watchers and photographers have taken advantage of the rare early winter opportunity.

Jingxin covers more than 5,800 hectares and provides migratory birds with abundant food and a healthy ecological environment. Rare birds fly to the wetland each spring, where they rest and forage for food.
