Mai Po (4)

The most prominent birds of the marsh were the egrets, herons and cormorants.

Great (enormous) Cormorants everywhere






Great Grey Herons, Great Egrets and Little Egrets


Intermediate Egret (very similar to Great Egret with a shorter bill with a black tip, smaller size, and less crickity neck)


Ah yes, and "the star of Mai Po," the Black-faced Spoonbill, a very endangered bird that winters here in Hong Kong
