October 14'th field trip to the coast
Yesterday we went to a coastal area near Xiao Yao Wan to look for Finless Porpoise. Our teacher told us that there would be a 1% chance of seeing them yet we wanted to go anyway:-O. We did not see any Porpoise but we saw some birds and had beautiful views. We saw some Amur Flacons catching and eating dragonflies, our teacher is also spotted one Japanese Cormorant. It was amazing|
