643W+VJ 香港南丫島 - Thank you, abandoned farmland 謝謝荒地之孕育

The trail started from Mo Tat Wan in the direction of Shek Pai Wan. This geographical location of the sound recording is halfway between Mo Tat School Old Village and Mo Tat Village Public Toilet on the Lamma Island Family Walk Trail. It is estimated that this landscape was an abandoned agricultural area when that was still inhabited. The timing of seasonal breeding during spring and summer is also known. Many animal species breed and mate in this brackish environment, especially when we recorded natural sounds after the heavy rains a few days ago, e.g. spiders, butterflies, ants, frogs, plants, etc. Whatever the environmental impact assessments revealed, the secondary forest has no conservation value. However, the abandoned farmland became a secondary forest, scrub, and copses that now form a sustainable biological system for biodiversity in Lamma Island. 這個生態錄音地理位置，是模達灣碼頭開始步行，由模達新村、模達舊村經榕樹下往石排灣途中的一個位置。這個位置開揚寬敞，估計是荒廢濕農地變成茂盛的次生林，還有灌木林和低灌叢，不少蕨類植物在紅樹林的鹹淡水交疊環境，放眼是一片綠油油的自然景觀映入眼簾，存在不同生物多樣性系統和共生物。春季踏入夏季是交配高峰期，錄音數日前適逢下了幾場滂沱大雨，可以見到很多昆蟲如蝴蝶、蜘蛛、百足蟲，和雀鳥會在低灌叢、樹葉、草地、溪流交配繁殖情景。當天聽到有雀鳥聲、蟬鳴，不停咕咕咕的叫，和未知是否求偶的叫聲，當中還夾雜飛機航行的聲音。根據一些有關南丫島生態保育的機構資料分析，棄耕農地雖然沒有任何生態價值評級，但亦為動植物提供一個合適棲息和養育生物多樣性的富僥之地。
