參觀濕地公園









本校預科生物組同學於十一月十七日到濕地公園考察。當日除了欣賞短片和參觀主題展館外,更有機會到戶外近距離觀察泥灘常客,包括招潮蟹和彈塗魚。除了這些常客,當天還有幸見到一群泥灘稀客在覓食,牠們就是瀕危的黑臉琵鷺。是次活動不但加深同學對濕地生態的認識,更加激發他們欣賞自然之美,從而了解保育工作的重要。

Bats in hand



The above photos show a bat commonly found in Hong Kong. Based on the external features observed, can you tell whether it is a fruit eating or an insectivorous species.

Do you know the ecological roles of bats and what can we do to conserve them?
