| Brief_description |
| A farm dam, with an open shoreline, fairly suitable for waders. Summer and winter counts for 1996-97 yielded small numbers of a reasonable variety of waterbirds, with Dabchick being more numerous in winter and cormorants in summer. Some waterfowl, and Redknobbed Coot, have higher summer counts, others are more numerous in winter, but numbers are too small to give a good indication of patterns of occurrence. Non-Palearctic shorebirds are commoner in winter, when peaks of Kittlitz's and Threebanded Plovers, Avocet and Blackwinged Stilt are recorded. No threats have been identified. |
