| Brief_description |
| A long, narrow cut-off lake, within the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Predominantly open water, with few fringing reeds and a little floating Nymphaea cover. Winter counts normally much higher than summer counts; numbers of most waterfowl, including Pygmy Goose, peak in winter, when large concentrations of Whitefaced Duck and Spurwinged Goose are recorded. Larger numbers of pelicans, African Spoonbill and African Jacana have also been recorded on winter counts; spoonbill numbers are apparently declining in winter. No serious threats; slight negative impacts are likely from livestock grazing and trampling, and from poaching. |
