Brief_description |
This site has open water, fringing and emergent vegetation, and shoreline habitat for waders. The good summer 1993 total of 3038 birds included 2363 Cattle Egrets and the maximum counts for Glossy Ibis and Ruff. The summer 1995 count of 1730 birds included 1131 Cattle Egrets. Fulvous Duck were numerous in summer 1994, when maximum counts of Little Stint and Blackwinged Stilt were recorded. Sacred Ibis and Whitefaced Duck are more numerous in winter, while moderate numbers of Redbilled Teal and Southern Pochard occur in summer. The reedbeds contain Purple Heron, Little Bittern, African Rail, Black Crake and Purple Gallinule. Threats are eutrophication, pollution by domestic sewage and pesticides, and overhead powerlines. |
