Extra-ordinory!  That is new to me.  I don't know they like salt-water marshes.

Fantastic photo.

This plus the Leopard Cat. Makes the bird photos seem very ordinary.

Superb picture ! Is that a Burmese Python?

Can someone also recommend a book for HK Snakes (apart from the AFCD guide to Poisonous Snakes) please?

Thank you very much.

Great picture, Sammy and Winnie !

A few years ago I saw a large snake in Pond 11, all the waterbirds were pecking at it...

Next time I think I'll take a small torch to Mai Po to check the hides before I go in.  I wouldn't want to trip over one of these in the dark !

Thanks all~
The Python came with the tide and welcomed by the waders.

Interesting pictures!
Waders are welcoming the python!

I think the birds are probably mobbing the python rather than welcoming it. They don't want to get eaten so they are making sure they know exactly where it is!

Thank you for identifying it for me, John.

Superb pictures of HK wildlife!
