Some birds breeding, Little Grebe, White-breasted Cormorants, African Jacana, African Fish-eagle. The was also a hybrid Mallard present, discussing with Sappi as a way to remove this bird. The spread of species, especially ducks, was excellent. The Black-winged Stilts were probably "spares" from the colont found on the river at Jex Estate.
