A rare sighting of Pyrrhula pyrrhula in Toli County, NW China’s Xinjiang

On December 4, 2023, Pyrrhula pyrrhula appears in the Ecological Park of Toli County, Tacheng Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They sometimes gaze from the branches, jump, play, or forage leaves and wild fruits. Their appearance is truly rare. They have a lively personality, flexible postures, and their round and chubby figures are definitely adorable.

In recent years, with the improvement of the ecological environment in Toli County and the improvement of people's awareness of caring for animals and plants, more and more wild animals have settled in Toli County. (Photo by Xie Guangxue)
