Statues at Hong Kong Wetland Park
Bird Statues
While at the entrance of the Hong Kong Wetland Parkย I came across these interesting statues of storks and other birds. I have always love looking at different statues and these really captured my attention.
Three ducks
The statues looked like they were made out of brass and some looked rather weather beaten due to enduring the various weather conditions over the past years.
Kingfisher
I spotted this kingfisher on a stone bench. There were some mini crabs ย on the bench across it. It was a pity that we didn’t manage to spot the real bird or any of these other animals that were portrayed in statues while we were at the park. I guess that it may have been simply too hot and they were in hiding or it wasn’t the right season to spot them.
The crab close up
Doesn’t it look really realistic?

At first glance, the animals look real, especially the ones in the second photo!

Very nice statues, it’s always fun when we go to a park and find statues the girls seem to be amazed by them.
Thanks for sharing, I will be showing them to Kira I’m sure she will like them.
Have a nice day!

I adore statuary – these look to be BRONZE, which is most commonly used for such things. The cranes are adorable. YAM xx

@YAM,
Not sure if they are Brass or Bronze.. as there wasn’t any indication of what material it was made of. I think that you may be correct ๐

I was able to snap a photo of a kingfisher at the San Diego zoo, I should post it on a WW.

Great statues and they look so rule except on their colors. If we can go to Hongkong, this wetland park will be on our list to go. Want to see those statues.
