Yinggehai, is a working fishing village on the southwest coast of #Hainan, is where time seems to slow down. The rustic charm of its working boats and stunning coastal sunrises make it popular spot for photography. #BlueskyNature #BlueSkySunrise #BlueskyPhotography #NatureOnBluesky #ExploreBluesky

An elegant #ChineseHeron at Dongzhai Wetlands, #Haikou. It's a fascinating bird with distinct plumage that changes with the seasons, here it's transitioning from breeding to non-breeding season—nature's own camouflage! #BirdsOfChina #WetlandWildlife #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography #Birds 🪶

An egret and free-range ducks share a wetland pond near Haikou, stoically ignoring each other. Egrets often benefit as ducks stir up insects or small fish while splashing through the water. #BirdsOfChina #WetlandWildlife #BirdWatching #WildlifePhotography #birds🪶

Mallards' webbed feet provide powerful propulsion as they push against the water during takeoff, launching with a burst of energy and creating quite the splash! #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #Mallard #ChinaBirds #addBirder #birds 🪶

Fiercely territorial, Kingfishers live solitary lives outside the breeding season, aggressively defending their hunting spots and chasing off others of their kind. Small but fierce! #WildlifePhotography #Chinabirds #NatureLovers #Kingfisher #addBirder #birds 🪶

What’s your setup for wildlife photography? I just bought an old-style military tent with some camouflage, works well for scrubland—It's lightweight, roomy, low profile and blends in well. Share your tips—I'd love to learn what works for you. #WildlifePhotography #PhotographyGear #BirdPhotography

I've been trying to photograph the #CommonMoorhen for a while. They’re residents here on Hainan Island, but in other parts of Asia, they migrate in winter. They can be found in wetlands, ponds and even urban parks. #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #WetlandLife #AvianAdventures

Siberian Stonechats are migratory birds spending the winter months on Hainan Island. They thrive in open habitats with scattered shrubs and often return to the same perch after hunting prey—though no luck this time! #WildlifePhotography #BirdsOfChina #NatureLovers #BirdWatching #NaturePhotography
