The wetlands are usually full of water given there has been heavy rainfall recently. The ball rushes around the lake have proliferate it over the last couple of months I know of scaring much of the water it self from the banks. There has been less birdlife on the lake particularly ducks. Water generally looks fairly clear.

Habitat

<p>There is a proliferation of reeds&nbsp;around the lake which have formed a habitat for some of the bad life that lives on the lake.</p>
