Bird in focus: Great Spotted Woodpecker                         
When: August 2005                  
Where: Temple of Heaven                          
Photographer: Yang Hua  
                                   
The Temple of Heaven is surrounded by many acres of pine trees. This amiable micro-ecosystem makes the park and its surrounding area a paradise for many animal species, especially birds. It is estimated that up to 50 kinds of wild bird species choose the areas near and around the Temple of Heaven as their home or stopping point during migration. This makes taking snapshots of China's diverse nature a scenic option during your visit to the Temple.
