especially black-faced spoonbill
Saunders' gull and Dalmatian pelican
and over 20 new species of invertebrates have been found. In 2001
it was estimated that 252 spoonbills came for the winter before heading back to Korea
and the marshes are though to contain around 25% of its world's population. The wetlands are a stopover for tens of thousands of birds along the East Asia-Australasian flyway
which is why 80% of the population is migratory. The marshes are also home to otters
butterflies and leopard cats. Paths and trails lead to ponds
reed beds
mangroves and mudflats and at the centre of the marshes is the Mai Po Nature Reserve with bird-watching platforms
