We have put some fish fry into a fish pond (the one right next to the Water Flea Ponds) early this year. We are now lowering the water level of the pond to provide more food for birds (mainly egrets and herons).
Yesterday morning(12/12), 3 Black-faced Spoonbills were recorded feeding in the pond. This is the highest count after the first sighting record last year.
Bird watchers and photographers are welcome to visit but please respect local farmers and residents. And please report your birding records here.
We would like to thank surveyors for their help!
Thank you for all your supports! Author: Tony Time: 14/12/2009 12:45
