講開「鳧」的最早記錄，其實有一段很有趣的故事
此鳥很早期已於香港島有記載，而牠們的棲息地亦被名為『鳧林』、『薄鳧林』，亦即今天的薄扶林。
至於此『鳧』是否彼『鳧』則無從稽考。

A little gossip about the history of this bird in Hong Kong:
Pokfulam in western HK Island is named after "Pok Fu" duck was found abundant in the place (Pokfulam is literally mean a wood for ducks named Pok Fu).
However, we could not know if old name "Pok Fu" was referring the same Cotton Pygmy-goose (Min Fu) we see today .
