| Brief_description |
| Large, permanent, freshwater pan with much fringing Phragmites, some marshy areas, variable floating-leaved vegetation (up to 50% Nymphaea cover) and variable open shoreline, depending on water level. The only regular breeding site for Pinkbacked Pelican in southern Africa; c. 50 nests in most years. Yellowbilled Stork apparently resident and breeds in most years; some egrets and ibises also breed. Great variation in counts of species such as Spurwinged Goose, African Jacana and some shorebirds may be at least partly explained by variations in water level and vegetation cover. Winter presence of Knot noteworthy. Decline evident in species numbers and count totals, both summer and winter. No threats have been identified. |
