Today Isabella and I joined a birdwatching club and took a field trip to a beautiful residential complex in the country. We caught sight of some birds, migratory and resident birds. At the first time, I learned several common birds around and their names: white wagtail(ē½é¶ŗé“1), Japanese white-eye(ē¶ ē¹”ē¼2), stonechat(ē³ä³3), red-vented bulbul(ē“
čéµÆ4), and white-headed bulbul(ē½å¤“éµÆ5). The white wagtail is characterized by its long tails wagging up and down when walking on the ground. The Japanese white-eye has an olive-green head, neck, and back, and its distinguishing feature is the bright-white ring. The stonechat is named by its voice, which is said to sound like pebbles clicked together. The red-vented bulbul's rump is white while its vent is red. This funny name amused kids on the scene when the teacher was introducing and identifying it. The white-headed bulbul is no stranger to most of us because of a children's story about it, in which a white-headed bulbul postpones the action of building a nest until it is too late in the winter. In the past, I had(or have?) never paid attention to and could hardly recognize the birds around, so they didn't mean a lot to me. However, once I got to know a little about them, I started to feel some connection with them and nature. It's amazing.
