Brief_description
Commercial saltpans, near Redhouse and Chatty saltpans. Similar avifauna to those pans, but counts consistently much lower, and exceptionally high totals recorded for few species, including 76 Blacknecked Grebe in winter 1995, 194 Cape Teal in summer 1997 and 273 Greater Flamingo in winter 1997; good numbers of Redbilled Teal in summer, and higher counts of Sacred Ibis and African Spoonbill than at the other sites. As for those sites, Dabchick, cormorant and flamingo numbers peak in winter. High winter count of Kittlitz's Plover in 1995; Blackwinged Stilt particularly numerous in 1997. Very few gulls and terns recorded in comparison to Redhouse and Chatty. Threats include total reclamation, and hunting/trapping. Site comprised of temporary freshwater vlei between rail & evaporation pans 2, 3, and 4.
