    ?

    ——"To be honest, I feel that the rice noodles are actually not delicious, and they are not as delicious as those in the north. Obviously, the cross-bridge rice noodles made in the north are not authentic. Why do you feel that they are better than yours?"

    Durian complained a little.

    ——"Because the shops on the street are basically not authentic, the authentic ones are actually Guoqiao rice noodles, and the main flavor of Guoqiao rice noodles is in the oil soup that was first served. The rest of the side dishes are all based on  Personal preferences.

    And the rice noodles here are relatively soft in order to ensure that they are cooked in the soup, so they are not as chewy as the rice noodles in the north, so the taste may be different.  "

    Chu Lihua herself prefers the unauthentic Guoqiao rice noodles in the north, because the soup tastes better.

    In the end, Chu Lihua recommended that everyone eat the baked bait roll with potato cakes.  This can be regarded as a local special breakfast.

    ——"Yuzi, isn't your bait a rice cake? Isn't this potato cake a potato cake?"

    Watermelon has always spoken straight.

    ——"Yes! How does it taste? Do you still like this taste?"

    Chu Lihua took a bite while talking.

    ——"To be honest, I feel that the taste is rather strange. It is true that the rice cake is more chewy, and the potato cake is more crisp. It is a very unique combination."

    Watermelon is a more pertinent comment.

    After eating, several people discussed the most economical way to go to Haigeng Dam - take a bus.

    After getting off the bus, there is a small stall on the side of the road to buy a host.  For example, boxes of strawberries come in different sizes.  It looks appetizing.  Another example is the small garland with local characteristics.  I like watermelon very much.

    Chu Lihua was not that interested in these.

    Because I heard someone calling the seagulls to feed from a distance.

    There is a seller of gull food next to it, and whenever there are too many people buying it, someone will yell for help, and the seagulls will fly over.  People are so happy that they may buy them again to feed them.

    These little cuties are also very bold, as long as you lift up a small piece of gull food, they will fly over and take it away with their mouths.

    Some even dared to bite a large piece with their mouths, and then the cuties flew back and forth, took a bite and flew away.  The next one will continue.

    To be honest, Chu Lihua didn't dare to do this.  It actually hurts to peck.

    Because, once, the gull food that Chu Lihua picked up was a bit small.  As a result, when he lifted it up, he was pecked on his finger.

    Although this is the most intimate contact, but the fingers really hurt.

    Of course, some people will tear the gull food into small pieces, and sprinkle it directly into the sky when groups of red-billed gulls fly overhead.

    Then, the little cuties will dexterously swoop down and hold them in their mouths, and then fly away.

    After feeding a batch and another batch, they just circled back and forth in the air like this.  Not flying high, probably just above the head.

    ——"I love your tenderness and enthusiasm, so every winter I come over the mountains from far away Siberia. For 32 years, I have never broken my promise, just to have a winter date with you. I have no reservations  I trust you, so I invite friends, bring family and friends, and come all the way for you."

    Chu Lihua couldn't help but confess to the city of Kunming from the perspective of a red-billed gull.

    ——"Yuzi, it doesn't mean that all the people who come here are behind us, but I seem to have seen different kinds of seagulls."

    Durian is always so delicate.

    ——"Yes, there were indeed only red-billed gulls at the beginning, but now, the seagulls that come to Kunming for wintering are not limited to red-billed gulls.  I also came to experience the kindness of Kunming people. Therefore, according to statistics, there are now seven species of seagulls.”

    In fact, Chu Lihua secretly did her homework before.  Just right, I can show it off today.

    ——"The shape, size and coat color of the red-headed gull are similar to those of pigeons. The body length is 37-43 cm and the weight is 200-300 grams. The beak is red, most of the body feathers are white, the tail feathers are black, and the feet and toes are black.  Crimson, turning orange-yellow in winter.

    The life span is about 32 years. It belongs to the traveling bird. In China, it is mainly a winter migratory bird, and some are summer migratory birds.

    Mainly feed on aquatic invertebrates such as small fish, shrimps, aquatic insects, crustaceans and molluscs.

    Usually the time to move to the Northeast breeding ground in spring is from March to April, and in autumn, it leaves the breeding ground and migrates south in September to October.

    ? A large number of Kunming red-headed gulls inhabit Dianchi Lake and appear in the city during the day.?Park lakes.  "

    —— "What about the others? Do you still know?"

    Cherry asked.

    ——"I also know a little bit. The brown-headed gull is bigger than the red-billed gull. It is a medium-sized water bird. Its body length is 41-46 cm and its weight is 450-700 grams. It has a gray back and a large white spot at the base of the primary flight feathers.  Black wingtips with white spots.

    There are dark brown spots behind the eyes of winter birds, and the head and neck of summer birds are brown.  It differs from the red-headed gull in that its iris is light in color, its mouth is thicker, its body is slightly larger, its wingtip markings are different, and its cry is hoarse.  There is a particularly striking white spot on the wing, which is the biggest difference between it and the red-billed gull.  But it is of the same species as the red-billed gull.

    Under normal circumstances, brown-headed gulls arrive in Kunming three to four days, one week or ten days earlier than red-headed gulls, which can be called the "vanguard" of seagulls.

    Among the seagulls that come to Kunming to spend the winter, brown-headed gulls account for a small proportion, and the number is only equivalent to 1% to 2% of red-headed gulls.  "

    ——"Yuzi, we don't seem to have seen the kind you mentioned. Is there anything else?"

    ——"I remember that there is a kind of herring gull called the "bad boy" of the seagull world, also known as black-backed gull, light red-footed gull, yellow-legged gull, osprey and fish wolf.

    Herring gulls are 60 cm long and huge in size, with a weight of 800-1700 grams. They stand out among seagulls.  The head is flat, the summer feather head, neck and lower body are pure white, the back and wings are silver-gray, the waist and tail coverts are pure white, the ends of flight feathers are dark brown with white spots, the beak is yellow, and the tip of the lower beak has red spots.  Feather head and neck with brown fine longitudinal stripes.

    Feeds mainly on fish and aquatic invertebrates, but also pecks at rodents, lizards, animal carcasses, and sometimes steals bird eggs and chicks.

    In summer, it inhabits rivers, lakes, swamps, coasts and islands on tundra, deserts and grasslands. In winter, it mainly inhabits coasts and estuaries. It will lay eggs on land or on cliffs, usually 3 eggs.

    Not long ago, in early November, when bird experts in Kunming were observing seagulls in Haigeng Park, they saw several herring gulls that were bigger than the red-billed gulls.  But it is not clear whether they are transiting or overwintering in Kunming.

    Actually, to be honest, this is what I saw on the news. Actually, I don’t know it very well. Of course, I haven’t seen them in this group of seagulls.  "

    Chu Lihua was afraid that they would ask herself, which one is the herring gull.  To be honest, it is much easier to say it in words, but it is really difficult for the good people to find them at least a few thousand.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
