Four of a flock of eight Eastern Great Egrets (Ardea modesta) - EPBC/JAMBA/CAMBA listed
August arrivals in the northern Tootgarook Swamp.
In dark green, African Boxthorn and Fennel. Both invading from the shire-owned previous swamp in-fill tip (the raised weedy ground at centre right) on Truemans Road, Tootgarook
The line of hay bales is from the developer owner of this portion illegally clearing the Reed Swamp
This Biosite is under constant pressure from developer strategies like this as the vast majority of the Swamp is private land and insufficiently protected on a planning level by either overlay or zoning
