Description
This site is well birded with over 2,400 eBird checklists recorded.
From the Cooks River Alliance webpage - see link below: "Landing Lights Wetland (also known as Riverine Park Wetlands), is an environmentally significant natural area. The site contains some of the last remaining saline wetlands on the Cooks River and includes vegetation identified as threatened under NSW legislation (salt-marsh).
Bayside Council has recently completed a 3 year intensive on ground restoration project at Landing Lights wetland. As part of the Cooks River Alliance On-ground Works Program, the Alliance provided funding and assistance to Bayside Council to deliver the works which included mangroves and weed removal. The project was supported through funding from the Australian Government.
The project aimed to increased habitat for migratory, threatened bird species and support State listed endangered ecological communities at the Landing Lights Cooks River saline wetland".
Lewin's Rail is occasionally reported here and Red-whiskered Bulbul is an attractive target bird for interstate birders.
