Oatley Flora & Fauna - Home
At the time of writing (January 2004), the water level is dropping in the wetland as one hot rainless day follows another. Lime Kiln's wetland has also almost dried up, but a pair of Buff-banded Rails, new birds to Oatley, had appeared on the edge of the residual pools by the second week in January. Perhaps they and other surprises will be added to the growing list of observations at Moore Reserve in 2004.
