天氣涼涼地,最啱去郊遊~
係11月4日星期六,BUGS義工們都變身成公民生物學家,去左大潭進行生態速查,紀錄沿途見到的雀仔蟲仔種類及數量。
沿住大潭水塘行左一段路,短短一個鐘已經發現左15種雀鳥同16種昆蟲!
真係唔好以為香港只係石屎森林,其實呢到的生物多樣性都好高架!
之後我地仲可以近距離認識淺水區域會出現嘅蟲蟲,如果平時有幸見到呢D對污染物特別敏感嘅蟲蟲,就證明水質好好啦!我地又有機會試下係昆蟲身上抽取DNA進行研究,好似上左一堂生物課咁呀!

You may not know but being one of the most highly urbanised and densely populated cities in the world, Hong Kong is actually rich in biodiversity. The place we call home is also a home to many fauna and flora. 60% of the city is covered by natural terrain, which supports myriad of terrestrial and marine habitats and niches.
Last Saturday, BUGS members had a field trip at the Tai Tam Reservoir and conducted a survey on the species diversity and species abundance of birds and insects. Just within an hour, our members were able to identify 15 bird species and 16 insect species. A mini Biology lab session was offered to them and they ran DNA tests on the sampled insect species. Rare insect species that could only be found in unpolluted/less polluted water were found in the area.
