Dragon Tales -- Wetland Adventure

Today I went to the Hong Kong Wetland Park with the Tiger. To get there we had to catch a taxi, and then two trains and then a light rail (like a tram). It is in the northwest part of Hong Kong in the New Territories.

They had all sorts of animals that need water, like fish, birds, and even a crocodile. The wetlands has both a freshwater section and saltwater section. The saltwater section was the most interesting as it had lot's of mudskippers which are amphibious fish that scoot around in the mud under the mangroves.

There were also lot's of wetland birds such as ducks and egrets and so many I couldn't remember all their names. Some were migratory birds (that spend the winter in HK after flying down from Korea and other places in North Asia). We saw some of these birds hunting for fish and muskippers. There were supposed to also be crabs and frogs but we didn't see any.

There was a butterfly section which was cool because it was totally outdoors. We saw five different types, including large ones that looked like Monarch butterflies.

As we left I bought a souvenir to remember the day: a cuddly frog that I named Hopper. And of course he is green, which is my favourite colour!
