Descrição
Giralang Pond (Giralang Wetlands), formed by a small weir on Ginninderra Creek upstream of Lake Ginninderra, is a vital urban wetland in Canberra. This single, shallow wetland with reed-fringed and vegetated edges provides essential habitat for a variety of bird species, including yearly breeding Nankeen Night-Heron, Pacific Black Duck, and Australian Reed Warbler. In addition, there is a small island characterised by appropriate vegetation that provides a refuge for large flocks of Australian White Ibis, Great Egret, and Royal Spoonbill on a regular basis.
