With its high density of skyscrapers and population, Hong Kong's biodiversity is surprisingly rich. Its wetlands are important wintering grounds for birds such as the globally threatened black-faced spoonbill.
A young black-faced spoonbill has flown with its parents all the way from the Liaodong Peninsula to spend the winter in the lush mangrove forest of the prosperous and bustling international metropolis. Many other migratory birds go to the wetland nearby for its abundant food to store up enough energy for the return trip. Watch the video to learn the story of the black-faced spoonbill family and their fascinating neighbors!
