Flora. I’m looking for a doctor. I have a medical emergency. OLD LADY Come in, come in! She yanks Flora over the threshold and into the apartment. Perhaps the door rotates to suggest that we are now inside the apartment with the two of them. Xxxxx looks at the closed door nervously. The opera music is a bit louder now. FLORA My father talks about me? To you? OLD LADY Often he speaks of little else. Now then, what is the specific medical emergency to which you have referred? FLORA (looking down at the squirrel in her arms) Oh. It’s Xxxxxxx. He’s hurt pretty badly. OLD LADY Xxxxxxx? A hero’s name. Let us have a look at your hero, then. She moves to an armchair, sits and holds out her arms. Xxxxx gently hands Xxxxxxx over to her. OLD LADY My eyesight is not what it was. When I was a girl in Blundermeecen, I could read the sign before anyone else even saw the sign. Of course, Bludermeecen was a dangerous place in those days, and the words on the sign were often not the truth. Anyway, now that my eyesight is no longer so good, I find this magnifying glass to be of great assistance. She studies Xxxxxxx through a large magnifying glass, which makes her eye look huge to us (possible projection). OLD LADY Ah, yes. I see. He is a squirrel. FLORA For the love of Xxxx! I know he’s a squirrel. OLD LADY He is missing much fur.
Flora. Two flora surveys were conducted during the monitoring period. A total of 11 species were recorded in the floodplain area and eight species were recorded in the control area. The flora species recorded are common in Hong Kong. No rare or protected plant species was recorded. Bird Twelve bird surveys were conducted during the monitoring period. A total of 27 species were recorded in the floodplain area while a total of 21 species were recorded in the control area. A comparison between birds at floodplain and control are shown in Table 2. The most remarkable record of bird species was Greater Painted- snipe, with its nest and eggs found at the channel (Figure 5).

Number and diversity of dragonfly species recorded in floodplain and control areas were compared in Table 3 which highlighted the floodplain area generally performed better in attracting dragonfly species.

Flora Twelve flora surveys were conducted during the monitoring period. The established floating platforms were colonized by a variety of weed and grass species, some of those are exotic species, and one species, Mikania micrantha, is an invasive species. Birds Thirteen bird surveys were conducted during the monitoring period. A total of 6 wetland-dependent bird species including Chinese Pond Heron, Little Egret, White-breasted Waterhen, Northern Shoveler, Grey Wagtail and White Wagtail were found using the floating platform for feeding.

Flora. The core zone comprises silica sand mine where mining operation is proposed. Most of the areas nearby project site are waste land and agriculture land and rural setting. Due to lack of moisture in the soil most of the wasteland is without vegetation. Moisture receives only during monsoon. Some vegetation such as Acacia arabica, Calotropis sp., Karamsp. And Ziziphus sp. were observed around the mine and along with some shrubs such as Calotropis sp. and Lantana camara etc.
Flora. No habitats of protected plants have been identified on the Sub-Task site or in its direct vicinity (100 m). All trees to be cut down are ash trees with circumferences ranging from 164 cm to 208 cm. FAUNA No habitats of protected animals have been identified on the Sub-Task site or in its direct vicinity (100 m).
Flora. No protected plants were reported in the planned work area; the nearest sites are located about 90-150 m to the south. The species identified there is the xxxxx spurge Euphorbia palustris - Polish red list of plants - NT (near threatened). Trees to be cut down mostly include white willows of considerable circumference (above 250 cm) and younger hornbeams, poplars and alders.
Flora. No habitats of protected plants have been identified on the Sub-Task site. However, one strictly protected species (floating fern Salvinia natans) has been found in Kanał Piasek, in the Sub-Task’s direct vicinity. Habitats of the following plants have also been identified 550 m and 350 m (respectively) from the Sub-Task site: · skullcap Scutellaria hastifolia (found on a xxxxx xxxx upon the Odra canal near Piasek, where over 20 shoots were identified), Polish red list of plants (VU - vulnerable) § xxxxx spurge Euphorbia palustris, Polish red list of plants (NT -near threatened).
Flora. No protected plant sites have been identified in the direct vicinity of the pump station and the power supply cable (100 m).
Flora. Within and in the vicinity of features 13NW-B/C80 and 13NW-B/C82, a total of 63 plant species were recorded including 33 trees, 14 shrubs, 6 climbers, 7 ferns, 2 bamboos and 1 grass species. Only one species, Enkianthus quinqueflorus (Plates E1 and E2 in Attachment E), recorded is protected in Hong Kong. A total of nine Enkianthus quinqueflorus trees were recorded in this shrubland. Of these 5 are located within 5m of the slope crest while the other 4 are over 10m up the natural slope. E. quinqueflorus was once threatened by over-collection in Hong Kong and has been listed as a protected species since the 1970’s. However, since then, the wild populations have recovered and are now widespread and common in the countryside (Corlett et al. 2000). The fern Cibotium barometz is listed as a protected species in China due to over collection but it is widespread and very common in Hong Kong (Xx and Xxx 2000). Within and in the vicinity of the 7 features along South Lantau Road near Shek Pik Reservoir, a total of 74 plant species were recorded including 33 trees, 17 shrubs, 14 climbers, 9 ferns and 1 grass species. No rare or endangered plant species are found in this site. Results of the findings are presented in Tables E1 and E2 in Attachment E. Fauna Within and in the vicinity of features 13NW-B/C80 and 13NW-B/C82, 15 bird and 15 butterfly species were recorded at this site. Furthermore 1 reptile species, the Changeable Lizard (Calotes versicolor) was also recorded, which is common in Hong Kong (Karsen et al. 1998). No amphibians were seen even with thorough searching in the stream adjacent to 13NW-B/C80. None of the animal species recorded is of high conservation value. Within and in the vicinity of the 7 features along South Lantau Road near Shek Pik Reservoir, 18 bird and 14 butterfly species were recorded at this site. Furthermore 3 reptile species were recorded including Changeable Lizard, Brown Forest Skink (Sphenomorphus indicus) and Chinese Skink (Eumeces chinensis chinensis). All 3 species are common and widespread in Hong Kong (Xxxxxx et al. 1998). No amphibians were seen probably, in part, due to the dry weather. Three of the bird species recorded are of some conservation concern. Black Kite and White-bellied Sea Eagle are considered to be species with “Regional Concern” and the Crested Serpent Eagle is considered to be a species with “Local Concern” (Fellowes et al. in press). However, all 3 species were seen soaring high up in the sky above the site...
