Bird watching festival underway

The Wetland Park is holding its annual Bird Watching Festival, with "Incredible Bird Parents" as this year’s theme.

 

Running until April 20, the event shows how versatile and sophisticated birds are in providing parental care for their offspring.

 

For the first time, five unique Lego brick wetland animal models are displayed as another festival attraction.

 

They include the saltwater crocodile Pui Pui, a kingfisher, paddy frog, fiddler crab and the common tiger, as well as Lego brick wall art.

 

Co-created by the Wetland Park and Lego Certified Professional Andy Hung, the Lego series aims to inspire kids to build a better future for nature.

 

Other edutainment comprises bird watching tours, thematic bird interpretation sessions, bird photography workshops, public lectures and a kids reading club.
