Mudskipper
The local "what's here" sign told me the name of the species. I really like the little blue dots. These guys go from the little streams to the larger mud areas and seem to spend a lot of time fighting over territory. Species: Boleophthalmus pectinirostris (大彈塗魚)

Chinese Dolphin With Bridge Construction Behind
First a new island for an airport, then a bridge linking Hong Kong with Macau, I can't imagine the environment for these dolphins is easy. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Hong Kong 9 > Chinese Dolphin With Bridge Construction Behind

Chinese Dolphins Near Tai O
This boat ride highlighted the problems with my technique. The boat had safety railings all the way around and the whales came up on the opposite side from me so I often got them in my shot. The whales surface quickly and sink - you loose half your time just trying to find them and focus. My camera isn't super fast (ISO or frame rate) so I didn't get much. Considering the boat trip is only a few dollars (but doesn't last more than 15 minutes), you get what you pay for. John Harvey Photo > Hong Kong 10 > Chinese Dolphins Near Tai O
