Based on the ecological monitoring findings, the Wetland Restoration Area (WRA) has provided a variety of habitats for different species. In the past six months, 43 bird species of conservation importance and/or wetland-dependent species were recorded within the WRA, including the three target species (Little Egret, Chinese Pond Heron and Eastern Cattle Egret), Eurasian Eagle Owl, Chinese Penduline-Tit, Baillon's Crake and a new breeding record of Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus (Photos1 to 4). Survey findings indicated that the WRA not only provides important habitat for wetland-dependence birds but also for the terrestrial birds (e.g. Greater Coucal Centropus sinensis). The WRA is considered to be effective in acting as a buffer against potential disturbance impacts from the construction site and in providing suitable wetland habitats at the fringe of the Deep Bay ecosystem.

In order to promote a more integral and stable ecological system within the WRA, regular removal of invasive species, such as golden apple snails, red imported fire ant and Leucaena leucocephala is carried out.
