Over 1,000 swans have gathered at Duut Lake and Ganga Lake in the Dariganga soum of Sukhbaatar province.

Swans usually congregate at Ganga Lake. Yet this year, most of the swans have gathered at Duut Lake instead. The specialists at the nature reserve are guessing that the reason for this may be due to the lake shrinking. They counted the number of swans two days before.

It is impossible to tell how many days the swans would stay, the locals say, they could leave the lake any morning. Ever since the earliest of days, the great beauty of birds has always made the Mongolian steppe even more exquisite. For this reason, there is a local myth that it is good omen if you see the swans gathering by chance when while on the road instead of specially going to see them.
