After my trip back from Queensland, I did not do much birding but I visit a few places in search of wildlife despite the heat. There was a Javan Pond Heron reported near the end of August, and since I have yet to have seen this species in Hong Kong, I decided to give it a try. By the entrance, I saw a Little Grebe and Common Kingfisher feeding on the fishponds.
我在昆士兰虎来没有去看很多鸟，但是在米埔有一只爪哇池鷺，我没有见过久我去看。在门口，我看到了一只小鸊鷉和普通翠鳥在鱼塘里。

Since it was low tide I also saw many egret species feeding on the ditch, they were mainly Great Egrets and Little Egrets, but it was nice to see anyhow.
因为是低潮,我看到了很多只大白鹭和小白鹭。

While waiting for the Javan Pond Heron to show since it had just flown into the mangrove when I arrived, I looked at the common birds which were around. There were a few Whimbrels, Chinese Pond Herons, Great Egret and a pair of Wood Sandpiper.
我们在等爪哇池鷺的时候看到了几只普通的鸟，比如中杓鷸，池鷺，大白鹭和林鷸。
