Recordist's notes

The Shek Lei Pui Reception Reservoir is located in the Kam Shan Country Park. It is regarded as one of the Kowloon Reservoir Group and all the reservoirs are connected. The term "Shek Lei Pui" is said to be the beginning of the 19th century. There was a village named "Shek Lei Pui Village" at the location of the reservoir. Occasionally, bees fly by at high speed, and the sound of birds come with certain distance. When the plane passed by, it disrupted the activities of the birds intentionally or unintentionally. After the plane passed by, there were tourists passing by. Apart from accidentally stepping on the branches and breaking branches, the tourists seemed to know how to keep quiet than the plane. 石梨貝水塘位於金山郊野公園內,被視作九龍水塘群之一,各水塘皆相連。「石梨貝」一詞有說是十九世紀初,水塘的位置曾有一條村名為「石犁背村」。偶有蜜蜂高速掠過,遠處的鳥聲不斷。飛機經過時也有意無意的打亂了鳥群的活動。飛機經過後有遊人經過,除了不小心踩斷樹枝外,似乎比起飛機更懂得保持安靜。
