2 Feb bird survey
Lack of rain during the last two months or so is desiccating the park, and dieback of understory vegetation is common. Nevertheless, in these harsh dry conditions bird diversity remains high, although numbers are down for some species, most notably honeyeaters especially the White-plumed and New Holland Honeyeaters.
Evaporation from the saltwater lake has exposed mudflats, which are attracting Pied Stilts and Black-fronted Dotterels.
