SHANGHAI, April 8 -- On the occasion of the 42nd Shanghai Bird-Loving Week, Shanghai Disney Resort announced on Saturday that 121 species of birds have been observed in its Wishing Star Park.

Since 2015, Shanghai Disney Resort has been carrying out monthly bird watching activities in Wishing Star Park, which provides numerous wintering habitats for migratory birds. It is the closest wintering point to the urban area and has the largest number of wild geese and ducks.

The latest bird-watching event at the park was held on Feb. 16 this year, with a total of 36 species of birds observed during the event. The 121st newly discovered bird, the Glareola maldivarum, was discovered at a bird watching event on Oct. 20 last year. The bird's body measures 20 to 28 cm in length, with a short mouth, long wingtip, black tail and white waist. The feathers under its wings are brownish red and extremely visible during flight. Capturing insects in the air, the bird's habits of flight and habitation are much like domestic swallows, preferring open land, marshes and rice fields.
