There are tens of thousands of nests on the head of tadpoles about ten meters from the sea. It is difficult to describe them in words. Birds breed and live in an environment with abundant aquatic plants, adequate food, dry sunshine and few natural enemies. No wonder people call Bird Island in Qinghai Lake "a paradise for birds".
