Title: Chinese Pond Heron

Wetland Park

Even though there wasn't many exciting birds in the wetland park, it is a good place to have a walk. Here are some close ups of this Pond Heron, which walked really close to the path that many tourist were walking on. Many people were disturbing this bird, but it simply didn't care. :P

I guess the resident birds there are developing their tolerance for human, like birds in all other parks.

One day, you may see a kingfisher standing besides you ;D

I was really shocked when i saw a few little kids trying to scare it off, and it simply didn't care!!It just carry on with what it was doing. You maybe right...I will be waiting for that day!! :P
