A species under first-class state protection in China, the ducks were spotted during a police patrol at a wetland in the Dengkou section of the Yellow River. The Baer's pochard mainly inhabits China, Mongolia and Bangladesh. The duck sighting indicates remarkable improvements to the wetland eco-environment in the region, said local authorities. |
