Descrizione

From the Parks and Wildlife page - see link: "Located in the Tamar Conservation Area, the wetlands are a superb site to see bird life in Tasmania with around 60 species being identified in the area.

There are several species of duck, black swans, egrets, cormorants and swamp harriers, as well as occasional visitors such as the white-bellied sea eagle, and northern hemisphere migrants such as the common greenshank. Many can be observed from a bird hide about 500 metres from the start of the boardwalk".

The wetlands are a 'go-to' site for Lewin's Rail and Double-banded Plover have occasionally been reported in numbers.
