Temporary draindown of Pond #8a

Next week the pond in front of the Tower Hide will be temporarily drained down to allow access for WWF staff to cut and remove emergent grasses. This is necessary to prepare the Pond for the arrival of spring shorebirds in mid-March by restoring areas of open shallow water.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to your birding activities.

淡水塘#8a暫時放乾
春季將至，亦是涉禽遷徙的高峰期。三層觀鳥屋外的塘面有需要在三月中前回復開放的淺水區。故在下星期開始，淡水塘#8a會暫時放乾，
屆時我們的員工會在塘面進行清理塘面雜草的工作。

若為閣下構成任何不便，本會謹此致歉。

如欲查詢進一步資料，請聯絡米埔自然保護區經理施伯納，bsmith@wwf.org.hk，電話：2471-6212。

The pond was reflooded during last night's high tide. Water-levels will be further adjusted today so that the pond is back to normal operation in time for the good daytime tides over weekend.

Thanks for your patience!
