    Notes Conditions at the Lake have seriously deteriorated. The water is only about 2cm deep and water lettuce is beginning to spread again. The undergrowth has been slashed right back with no hiding places. Breeding pelicans just did not arrive this year, except 1 crazy pair on the top of the high mast lighting on an adjoining sports field . I note you have flamingos on our site??? and no pelicans. Also no pink backed pelicans. Please check.
