A

Shenzhen is an important stopping place on the East Asia-Australia migratory(迁徙的) route of winter birds. If you are a bird watching lover, here is some advice for you.

Check the sunrise and sunset and tide level The best bird watching times are the two hours after sunrise and the two hours before sunset. In the late afternoon, the tide at Shenzhen Bay becomes lower. Some birds appear to find food among the mud. Most of the land birds also prefer to find food in the early morning. However, a lower tide doesn’t mean it is better for bird watching. The best tide height for watching birds is between 0.5 and 1.2 meters.

Prepare your birding tools Binoculars(双目望远镜) are often used for watching land birds because of its small size and light weight. A monocular telescope(单目望远镜) is often used for watching faraway birds. If you want to take photos while watching, you can simply use your cameras on your cellphones.

Have birding rules in mind Don’t feed, catch, or run after the birds for getting nice photos. These behaviors are not good for their natural habits and health. Don’t come near their nests since some birds may be dangerous and some may leave their nests and chicks when noticing any humans. 26. When is probably the best time to watch birds in Shenzhen?

A. Between sunset and sunrise. B. Two hours after the sunset.

C. Before land birds begin to look for their food. D. When the tide is 0.5m above and 1.2m below. 27. What does the underlined word “birding” mean?
