Nice wetland and lake area with a lot of ducks and other aquatic birds across the year. Very easy to get to and view birds from.

Description

The Brick Pits Wetlands is a nice small wetland area which is quite a lot lower than the road in, which makes for good viewing across the entire water area. Some more interesting birds around include Yellow-billed Spoonbill, Chestnut Teal, Musk Duck and Black-fronted Dotterel. Plumed Whistling-Duck have also stopped here over a few weeks in summer months.
