Another feature of chiku s rich natural environment not to be missed is the rare single - species forest of grey mangrove avicennia marina in the mangrove conservation area at the mouth of the chiku creek . the forest is home to thousands of egrets and black - crowned night herons , which live here throughout the year 七股鄉豐富的生態資源,當然少不了位于七股溪出海口的紅樹林保育區,保育區中擁有珍貴的海茄?紅樹林純林,以及終年棲息的上萬只白鷺鷥與俗稱暗光鳥的夜鷺。

Every evening as the egrets return to their nests , the night herons start looking for food , and fiddler crabs and mudskippers show themselves on the soft mudflats . as the glow of the sunset envelopes the chiku creek , the curtain is just rising on the stage of life 每到傍晚白鷺鷥歸巢,夜鷺開始覓食,招潮蟹與彈涂魚也在柔軟的泥灘上現身,日落馀暉中的七股溪,大自然的生命舞臺才要揭幕呢!

The egrets population started breeding from match to april . the chiefly breeding place was in jiyu in 2001 , including 5032 little egrets , 4694 chinese pond herons ( ardeola bacchus ) , 1692 black - crowned night herons ( nycticorax nycticorax ) and 460 cattle egrets 鷺群3 4月開始進入繁殖期, 2001年主要繁殖地位于雞嶼,繁殖數量為白鷺5032只,池鷺4694只,夜鷺1692只和牛背鷺460只。

The chinese pond herons , little egrets and cattle egrets regularly nest there . some pairs of the rare swinboe s egrets also nest there . since 1972 , a small number of night herons have become annual visitors 池鷺、白鷺和牛背鷺都經常在這里巢居,就是較罕見的黃嘴白鷺,也有數對巢居于此;一九七二年以來,一些夜鷺每年都飛到此地。

Less visible breeding areas hold nest sites for black crowned and yellow crowned night herons , great blue heron , great and snowy egret , glossy ibis and barn owl 黑冠和黃冠夜鷺、藍鷺、大白鷺、雪鷺、朱鷺和貓頭鷹的很難見到他們的巢,在這里是可以看到的。
