Reportedly FEHD (食環署) referred a complaint on egret droppings.

In fact, LCSD(康文署) should have sufficient liaison prior with Tree Mgt Office(發展局樹木辦 Development Bureau) and AFCD(漁護署). But they did not, obviously, and now said they would in future enhance wildlife conservation training to the working staffers pruning tree branches...
