Over the coming winter months, trash fish (mainly Tilapia) will be stocked on a bi-weekly basis into gei wai #3 at Mai Po Nature Reserve for feeding Cormorants. This is part of a programme to reduce the predation by Cormorants on the commercial fish in the fishponds around Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay. The stocking also presents a great opportunity to watch and photograph thousands of birds congregating together as they feast on the fish. The small bird-watching hide/hut by the road can allow for close up views.

The feeding commences at 08:00 and lasts for about 20 minutes, but birds remain for much longer afterwards. Feeding will take place every Tuesday and Friday from 21 November 2006 until mid-March 2007 (exception being the Chinese New Year period: 13 - 26 February 2007 and if temperatures fall below 10 degrees Celsius).
If you require any further information please telephone the WWF Mai Po Office on 2471 6306 and ask for Miss Janet Lee.
