夜行大埔滘Night walk in Tai Po Kau in a group

06.06.03

First night walk in the Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve, one of our familiar hiking places. Astonished by the ability for the group to spot so many types of stick insects, and this cute frog on the cover page (the toes are lovely). This is also one of the few sites where you can almost always see fireflies along brooks or streams in the right season. Not a large number, but enough to get you excited in the dark.

雖然大埔滘是經常到的地點,夜行還是第一次。
一行人在大埔吃過下午茶後,約六時出發,到松仔園落車,如平常一樣往上行。但這次所用的時間比平時多三倍,因為各位同學對沿途每株植物都不放過。過了閘口的公廁之後,便是每步都有驚喜了。雨後,急漲的溪流旁,立刻發現這次行程的目標---螢火蟲;接住便是各式蛙類,樹枝蟲,蜘蛛和貓鷹的叫聲了。約九時離開,尾程的bonus更加有螢火蟲幼蟲青竹蛇(應為銀腳帶)和河溪紅蟹!!
此次同行有Apple, Maggie, Ming, Mandy, Bryan, Kenny 和 Steven。
