Streams are home to a lot of wildlife. Here you will find the characteristics of different reaches of the stream.
-
Upland Stream
See the waterfall, plunge pool and eddy currents. Watch out for terrapin hiding in its shell, bird droppings and food remains in the upland stream.
-
Middle Reaches
Search for droppings of Chinese River Otter and Common Kingfisher nest around the meander and an oxbow lake.
-
Open Water
The gradient sides are where mud is deposited. Here the animals and plants are typical of Hong Kong’s freshwater lakes. See if you can spot the Leopard Cat’s food remains and Sloughed snake skin.
