In Yangzhou after Awakening Insects, the temperature rose rapidly to the beginning of 2, which made some hibernating animals wake up. After the spring equinox, continuous cloudy and rainy days occurred, and the temperature dropped rapidly, and the lowest temperature was only a single digit. Will these wake up animals fall asleep again?

Animals know spring, these birds

bring the message of spring

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet Mud Melting Swallows, Sand Warm Sleeping The mandarin duck, animals know spring, has been included in poetry since ancient times.

Qian Zhihua, a member of the Wildlife and Birds Branch of the Yangzhou Photography Association, recorded the white-breasted bitter bird on the shore of Gaoyou Lake. It is a bit difficult to photograph it, it is a summer migratory bird in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.”

Actually, in Yangzhou at this time, popular spring messenger swallows are still rare, but gray-headed wheat chicken , spring messengers like the white-breasted bitter bird have arrived in Yangzhou.

The white-breasted bitter bird has an unlucky name, but its appearance is not bad at all. Qian Zhihua said that its name is based on the bird's color and call, the feathers on the chest are snow-white, and the call of 'bitter and evil'.

In addition to summer migratory birds, there are also birds of prey Pass through Yangzhou. Qian Zhihua also recorded a short-eared owl, a second-class national protected animal that travels north through Yangzhou every spring. Although it has been recorded in Yangzhou, few people have seen its true face of Mount Lu. It's also luck. Well, I can see it in the daytime, and I took pictures.

Of course, there are more birds know spring phenomenon. In Gaoyou, the national first-class protected animal, the Oriental white stork, is building a nest; in the community where the reporter is located, on the window sill of the residential building, the black thrush is building a love nest; a signal tower on Lvyang Road, a magpie and his wife are building on the top of the tower. Made a big birdhouse.

Will the wake up gecko fall asleep again when it is cold?

In addition to birds, other animals also know spring. A few days ago, at Li Youming's house in Yangmiao Town, Hanjiang, a gecko came out. This reptile only comes out of the hole when the temperature is higher than 14°C.

Seasonally, geckos usually start their activities after the infestation. Although it is the spring equinox, how will the gecko respond to the continuous low temperature and rainy weather in recent days? In fact, when the temperature drops again, the geckos will return to the nest again, but they will not enter the deep sleep state like in winter, but enter a light sleep state, and when the temperature rises again, they will start to move.

In Yangzhou, the common gecko is the non-webbed gecko. They hide under the tiles and in the cracks of the wall during the day, and come out to hunt after sunset, and they like to hunt under the lights at night, because the lights can attract insects.

In cold and rainy days, the bees are temporarily returned to the box

Jiangdu Yan Chuncheng is a big bee farmer. He said that after the vernal equinox, the temperature dropped and it rained, and the bees all returned to the box. It is when the rape blossoms bloom, which will have a certain impact on honey collection. Whether the impact is big or not depends on the weather in the later period.

In the early days of fine weather, the bees have collected a certain amount of honey, and their rations are enough for this period of time. Yan Chuncheng said that the weather for bees to collect honey is usually higher than 18 ℃, but if When the weather is fine and the temperature exceeds 16 ℃, they can also come out to collect honey.

Actually, the rain during this period also gave the bees time to recuperate. Yan Chuncheng believes that now is the time for the bees to breed the next generation, and when the weather improves, the bees will have more energy.

The temperature drops, and rapeseed flowers also bloom slowly. Therefore, as long as the weather is good in the later period, when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, the nectar source is sufficient, and the bees have abundant physical strength, which can also make up for the losses caused by the recent cloudy and rainy days. .
