Mike, thanks a lot for following up on this. The number of bats ensnared is amazing and very disturbing. I don't know how the locals reacted to the intervention but whatever the reaction I am pleased this has been stopped. I suspect I may be better off keeping a low profile for a while. Good result though. Well done

I have reported to the AFCD yesterday of the Mist nets and I received the message from Mr. Wong AFCD this morning.
 
 I received the message from Mr. Wong AFCD this morning.
 
Dear Mr. Chan,
 
   Thank you for your information. We also received the same complaint from staff of KFBG today. Please be informed that our Nature Wardens have seized 7 pieces of mist net each of 20m to 30m in length. One bird was released. No one claimed to be responsible on site and our Nature Warden provided advice to people nearby on how to protect their agricultural products, which would not harm wild birds and bats. We also advised them to use nets with thicker strings and put them horizontally in order to protect crops.
 
Regards
 
C. L. Wong
AFCD  
 
 
I hope it has been settle down. I will keep watching on this and update it in the future.
 
Regards,

I also saw some horizontal nets in my last visit on 15/12/05. I thought they were alright so I only reported the big vertical one further up the valley to AFCD. On the following day, AFCD called me for directions to get to the site. They told me afterwards that the reported net had been cleared. From the above photos it seems that more vertical nets had been erected since then.
 
It's really disturbing to see so many bats and birds killed by these nets!

Acting upon a referred case from the Government, members of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden visited a flower farm at Ho Chung yesterday and advised them to protect their market flowers env-friendly.  
 
The farmer said he will adopt some and will never try to use mist-net again.
 
Nevertheless, pls keep reporting any mist-nets to the authority concerned. It will help to save a lot of bird / bat lives.

Hi Webcreeper. I can't read this but can you tell me whether this was before or after the recent visits by AFCD and Kadoorie? Thanks a lot

Hi Andrew,
 
The report on today's newspaper recounts findings from KFBG's visit and follow-up work by AFCD (7 pieces of mist nets were removed but no one could be held responsible).
