Tootgarook Swamp in Victoria, Australia is, like so many wetlands complexes around the world, under attack by developers. Birders will enjoy this excellent video, which I found fascinating as a representation of how similar and yet different the Australian avifauna is from the American suite. Conservationists can learn more here.

Thanks for sharing this, Mike. It’s within about 1-1/2 hours drive from me, but I hadn’t heard about it. I’ve shared it with my fellow BirdLife Melbourne committee members, and hopefully word will spread and support too.
