Female teal is still alive but she is becoming to face potential danger as she becoming too tame and forgetting human , their dogs and cats are all very dangerous to her .

Nice photo lyc........, but what to do about it? I know there are a couple of cats that hang around in that area & I think it is only a matter of time before they find her.

I think we can't do anything .Wild lifes are always on the process of struggle for survive .We just hope she can remain wild ,heathly and sensitive to danger .Domestic cats are great killers to small wild animals .I have seen five cats encircling a thrush and try to ambush it in Wanglong . Young birds , unhealthy birds are their victims . Mature , healthly birds can and know how to avoid danger .The most danger time is at night .Cats like hunting at night but they don't like water so that if the resting place of the teal has an adquate distance buffered by water from the reach of cats , she may still safe .Dogs don't like cats , their manace to wildlife is not really kill except ' wild dogs ' in fact they have the instinct to search and get the animals out from their hiding place so that dogs can limit the place for wild animals .This is crucial to the survival of wildlife because suitable places are already shrunk due to human activity .
So for the wild life of Lamma , the number of domestic cats and dogs should be kept under control but this task is not easy to achieve because many people like cats and dogs as pets .
