| Brief_description |
| A 10 ha sedge pan; open water with much submerged vegetation and fringed with tall, dense, emergent sedges and grasses; the upper shore has Juncus. Two counts (summer and winter 1992), showing much greater bird species numbers and diversity in summer, when the commonest species were Redknobbed Coot (35) and Greenshank (76); the winter count yielded only 6 species and included 30 Little Stint. Counts in Feb. 1986 and 1987 (D.G. Allan) yielded 88 and 129 birds respectively (total 23 species), with maxima of 45 Redknobbed Coot, 60 Marsh Sandpiper, 10 Blackwinged Stilt and only 2 Greenshank. Cattle trampling and grazing affected half of the pan in 1986-87. No threats have been identified. |
