Swan 'Gu Tianle' Tracked From Fujian To Inner Mongolia

A migratory swan named Gu Tianle was tracked moving north along established migratory corridors after leaving the Minjiang River Estuary National Nature Reserve in Fujian. The bird has been observed in the region for over ten days and is expected to continue its flight to its breeding grounds soon. Tracking efforts involved coordination from Fujian to Inner Mongolia to monitor the bird's progress. A young swan, nicknamed 'Gu Tian Le', has completed a migration from Fujian province to a farmland area in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. The swan was discovered in Gutian County, Fujian on November 17, 2025, weak and unable to keep up with its flock. After recovery, it was fitted with a tracker and released on December 19, 2025. The tracker's data indicated its location on March 17, 2026, in a farmland area in Baotou city, Inner Mongolia. Conservationists and photographers from the Fujian Minjiang River Estuary National Wetland Park and the Inner Mongolia Photographers Association collaborated to locate the swan. They found Gu Tianle in good condition among thousands of other swans in a 2000-mu agricultural area, indicating the region provides suitable feeding conditions. Gao Juyun, deputy section chief of the research monitoring department, stated the goal is to observe the swan's condition on-site. Field workers located a migratory swan at coordinates 40°33'18.616"N, 110°24'7.006"E in a farmland area of Baotou, China. The swan's precise location was transmitted on March 17th to coordinates 40 degrees 33 minutes 18.616 seconds North and 110 degrees 24 minutes 7.006 seconds East.
