During fieldwork visual searching for plants, birds, amphibians, reptiles and butterflies was conducted.
The calls of birds and amphibians were also used to survey these groups.
Visual searching for mammal signs such as scats and mud holes was also conducted.
Since there are no deep crevices or cracks, caves and particularly large trees on the rock faces of all features, therefore, due to a lack of suitable roosting sites at the features bats are not surveyed.
Doubtful or unknown species were collected and identified in the HKU herbarium.
Relevant experts were consulted regarding the possible occurrence of rare or endangered species at all sites.
