A great increase in bird diversity and abundance using the water, notably a number of Egrets. A recent bird survey counted approximately 25 species in the Creek and surrounds. Waterway seems to be free of obvious algal blooms that formed for some time. A pipe or something had cracked approximately 100 metres before the parking area. It has caused a mini flood plain and the road is uneven and half flooded because of it.
