This April, who is the most popular star on the Liangshui River (Beijing E-Town section)? It's a swan, or a family of swans.

Residents were pleasantly surprised to find that the recently born black swan babies have grown up quickly, and are now juvenile swans.

As online celebrities of the Liangshui River, this March, one of the black swan couples happily welcomed four new swan babies, and since the moment they hatched, people paid them close attention.

The group of six, whether frolicking in the water or resting on the shore, does attract attention. The black swan family is usually the main event, and their lives are recorded on videos and cameras.

At that time, the second generation of black swans were still little "fluffy balls", but in the blink of an eye, their cute appearance gradually faded and elegance began to show.

Sometimes diving into the water to pick up water plants, sometimes spreading their wings and stretching their necks to fly higher, the black swan couple never left their young ones.

Not far from the family of six, another black swan couple is waiting for the birth of their next generation. When the new life arrives, the Liangshui River will become livelier, and the black swan gallery will have new pictures again.

April 8 is International Rare Animal Protection Day, and birds are the best environmental assessors.

The improvement of the water quality of the Liangshui River has enabled black swans and other water birds to breed and inhabit here, providing conditions for the public to get close to animals. Just like what has been recorded by the lens of E-Town residents, here, the place witnesses the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals every day.
