The photo, taken on December 24, shows a flock of green-winged teals (Anas crecca) flying over a high-voltage transmission tower in Dingzi Neighborhood, Wangcheng District, Changsha. Green-winged teals are small in size and swift-winged. They breed in the north and fly to the south for winter every autumn. They are included in a list of terrestrial wild animals under state protection, which are beneficial or of important economic or scientific research value. The vast wetlands in Wangcheng District are a paradise for green-winged teals in winter. (Photo/Zhang Jingming, Hunan Daily)
