The islands of Pond #15a(indicated in red) are used in winter by several hundred duck to roost and in late spring by breeding Black-winged Stilt.
Originally constructed in the 1990s, the islands are now in need of substantial repair and some enhancement to maintain their attractiveness to waterbirds.
Starting from late-April, our staff will remove many of the exposed tyres, re-shape the islands and lower their overall height. The works are expected to be complete by October 2011.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause over the coming months. For further information, please contact Roger Lee (Tel 2471-6212).
