Brief_description
A shallow natural pan fringed by reeds, grass and some cultivation; floating vegetation can sometimes be extensive. Most waterfowl more numerous in winter, when counts of Whitefaced Duck and Egyptian Goose show recent declines; good for Knobbilled Duck in winter. High winter counts of some waterfowl (including Pygmy Goose), and shorebirds, in only one or two years, and of Curlew Sandpiper in 1992 and Curlew in 1994. Redknobbed Coot recorded only in winter 1992. Important threats are grazing and trampling by livestock, and subsistence agriculture on shorelines; other threats include hunting/trapping, net fishing, and vegetation clearance. Shooting rights recently granted and this may have contributed to the observed decline in the number of species and total counts.
