Birds in Wetlands Park

Went to the Wetlands Park today, in a trip organized by our youngest daughter’s Sunday School. We were really surprised to find so many birds in one place outdoors in Hong Kong. There were many kinds of ducks, herons and so many others that we could not name. It was just amazing.

All these in a place only a 35 minute bus ride away from TsimShaTsui, and just across the street from housing estates in TinShuiWai. The place was well designed and managed. A great place to spend a day.

Another surprise was the many volunteers who set up telescopes to help visitors to watch the birds. There were lots of telescopes set up, and the volunteers were courteous and knowledgeable. The visitors too, were largely well-behaved.

The only problem was that there are too many of us visitors, and I was told it was not considered a crowded day. I shudder to think what it must be like on a really busy day.
