What the list tells us
These names show the range of waterbirds associated with the site, from ducks to waders and a gull. AFCD’s separate estimate of 50,000–60,000 wintering waterfowl applies to Mai Po; it is not a count for Tsim Bei Tsui. The distinction keeps a site-level species list from being mistaken for a local census.
Watch quietly, keep your distance
AFCD advises birdwatchers to move lightly, keep quiet and stay well away from birds and nests. Avoid disturbing wildlife or its habitat, and be considerate of other visitors. These small choices help preserve the conditions that make Deep Bay valuable to birds.
