The breeding season for crested treeswifts recently began in Yingjiang county, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province.
The crested treeswift, which is under second-class protection in China, is a small, slender #bird with a long crest on its forehead. It builds a tiny, cup-shaped nest on a tree branch, which can only cradle a single egg. Both the male and the female take turns to incubate the egg. #nature #animals
