Dear Society Members,
Over the last 2 months, a number of wooden posts/bamboo sticks have appeared outside several of the Mai Po bird hides (see photo from Hide 1). We have to assume these were placed by bird photographers/watchers in order to attract perching birds close to the hides.
I would like to remind visitors to the Reserve that such practice is not acceptable because it involves entering areas in front of the hides which causes disturbance to birds. These posts are now removed.
If any member of the Society witnesses a person putting up posts please can they report the incident directly to me or another WWF staff member on duty.
We welcome all suggestions on ways to increase opportunities to watch birds or improve the Reserve, no matter how minor. If a perching post or posts at a particular location would help, please let me know. If your request is reasonable a WWF staff will set up the post.
Thank you,
Bena Smith
Reserve Manager

各位會員：
在過去兩個月，米埔數間觀鳥屋外出現了一些木桿／竹桿（見從１號觀鳥屋拍的照片）。
我們相信這些桿子是由拍友／鳥友留下的，目的是要吸引鳥類接近觀鳥屋。
我要提醒進入保護區的遊客，這種做法不可接受，因為插桿子時要跑到觀鳥屋前面，于擾鳥類。我們已清除這些桿子。
如果觀鳥會會員見到有人插桿子，請向我或其他當值的自然基金會職員報告。
如果各位願意提出建議，增加觀鳥的機會，或者對保護區作出改善，不論大小，我們都無任歡迎。
如果各位認為在某地設立一些棲木會有幫助，也請告訴我。如果要求合理，我們會找自然基金會職員照做。
謝謝！
