Besides,a record of both the Japanese Night Heron( Gorsachius goisagi) and the White-eared Night Herron( Gorsachius magnificus) incidentally happened to Wuyuan,a county of long tradition of over a thousand yearson the preservation of its so-called Fengshui woods,and,with its modern practice of delimiting over 200 sites for establishing the so-called mini-protected-areas all over the county.
