2 Dec bird survey

This survey did not obtain the high number of species compared to recent counts, however it was still very satisfactory. Water levels have risen due to recent rain, for example the Saltwater Lake level was 0.75 m on 4 Nov – now it is 0.79 m. The Freshwater Lake level was not recorded.

Rarely seen species continue to visit the park including the single Great Crested Grebe seen today and on 18 November. Other notable sightings include a Pink-eared Duck, Eastern Spinebill, Sacred Kingfisher seen recently and a Buff-banded Rail in earlier in November.
