Descripción

The 48 hectare Dandenong Valley Wetland in Scoresby is the largest man-made wetland in Victoria, and is managed by Melbourne Water and acts as a natural filter that soaks up and breaks down pollution in stormwater before it is released into Dandenong Creek. A good location to see water birds such as ducks, egrets, cormorants and there are many other species that visit. Water levels fluctuate throughout the year depending on how recent the rainfall has been. Various Dotterels and Sandpipers use the area when levels drop. Crakes, Wood Sandpiper each summer and Australasian Bittern in winter. The forest along the creek itself holds a variety of bush birds.
