Cormorant feeding in Gei wai #3

Over the coming winter months, trash fish - mainly 3 to 6 inch 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 larger Government programme to reduce Cormorant predation on commercial fish in the fishponds around Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay.
From 12th November 2010 until late-Febreary 2011 (exception being the Chinese New Year period: 1st to 14th February 2011 and if temperatures fall below 10 degrees Celsius), fish farmers will deliver fish (1,300 catties per truck), every Tuesday and Friday for stocking into Gei wai #3. The feeding commences at 08:00 and lasts for about 20 minutes, however birds will remain in the gei wai for much longer afterwards. The small bird-watching hide/hut by the road can allow for close up views.
If you require any further information please telephone the WWF Mai Po Office on 2471-6212 and ask for Roger Lee.

在未來的冬季月份,米埔自然保護區都會在每星期兩次,把雜魚(主要是3至6吋長福壽魚)引入基圍#3,餵飼鸕鶿。這樣做是為了減少鸕鶿在米埔和內后海灣鄰近的商業魚塘覓食。
由2010年11月12日至2011年2月尾(農曆新年-2011年2月1日至14日,及氣溫在攝氐10度以下的日子除外),漁民會在每個星期二及五,運送兩車活魚(每車運送1,300斤活魚),引入基圍#3,餵飼雀鳥。餵飼活動在早上8時開始,需時約20分鐘,但雀鳥可能會在基圍停留更長時間。基圍#3設有一所小型觀鳥屋,讓大家更近距離和更清楚地觀賞和拍攝逾千隻雀鳥聚集覓食的壯觀場面
如欲查詢進一步資料,請聯絡米埔自然保護區李灝,電話:2471-6212。
