Bustling wetlands: Hong Kong showcases bustling wetland life.  Great Egret, Nannophya pygmaea -  the smallest dragonfly in Hong Kong (AFCD photo),  and mudskippers are but some of the habitants.

Many animals thrive in Hong Kong's wetlands. Apart from being a paradise for birds, they are also home to many dragonflies, mudskippers, shrimps, fish, fiddler crabs, periwinkles and frogs. 

 

The world-famous Mai Po marshes as well as Tsim Bei Tsui and Luk Keng in the New Territories offer spectacular views for bird watchers.
