Descrição

The water level and number of birds on Pitt Town Lagoon changes through the year. Changing water levels favour different birds. Mud-flats created by a receding shoreline are ideal for Black-fronted Dotterels, while shallow water with inundated vegetation is ideal for Red-kneed Dotterel. Some species only appear at certain times of the year. Among the less common birds birds you can observe at the lagoon are Sharp-tailed Sandpipers, Fairy Martins, Baillon’s Crake, Australian Spotted Crake, Black-tailed Native-hen, Red-capped Plover or Australian Painted Snipe. Common to abundant birds on the lagoon are Pink-eared Ducks, Australasian Shoveler, Chestnut Teal, Pied Stilt, Royal Spoonbill, Australian Ibis, Australian Pelican, Little Black Cormorant and Great Cormorant. But many more birds can be spotted, see the birdlist below.
