    Notes After primary purification of the water it has been re-directed to the series of many lower pans instead of flowing directly back to the Berg River as has been the case for several years. The re-flooded lower pans are pristine for water-associated birds and more attention should be directed to this site. 10 Lesser Swamp-warber and 4 African Reed Warbler also seen
