湖南森林和湿地资源丰富，全省拥有鸟类400多种，其中国家重点保护鸟类近70种。湖南处在全球候鸟迁徙通道上，是国际重要的候鸟迁徙地和停歇地。

4月1日至7日，是湖南省第38届“爱鸟周”。本届“爱鸟周”主题是“关注候鸟迁徙，维护生命共同体”，期间，社会各界开展了各类爱鸟护鸟宣传，推动全社会掀起关爱自然、关爱湿地、关爱鸟类的热潮。

今天，我们分享一组摄影师在湖南境内拍摄的候鸟，走近这片美丽的越冬之地。

Hunan is rich in forest and wetland resources. There are more than 400 species of birds in Hunan Province, of which nearly 70 are under state-level protection. Hunan is on a key bird migration route of the world, and provides resting places for the migrating birds.

April 1-7 is the 38th Bird Love Week in Hunan Province. This year’s theme is "Pay attention to migrating birds and safeguard the community of life". During this period, all walks of life launched various bird-loving propaganda to call for public caring for nature, wetlands and birds.

Here are a group of photographs of migratory birds taken in Hunan, showing this beautiful wintering place for birds.

在摸清全省候鸟迁徙和栖息地的基础上，我省目前已建立43个候鸟保护站，在候鸟迁飞和越冬季节每班安排3人实行24小时值守和巡护，保护候鸟平安迁飞。

Forty-three migratory bird protection stations have been established in Hunan. During bird migration and wintering season, 3 observers per shift are assigned to perform 24-hour duty to safeguard a safe migration of the birds.
