Descripción

From the Ramsar citation - see link: "(ephemeral - dries over summer) Lake Muir is part of a suite of partly inter-connected lakes and swamps of varied size, salinity, permanence and substrate (peat and inorganic), in an internally draining catchment.

The open lakes are used for moulting by thousands of Australian Shelduck and for drought refuge by tens of thousands of other waterfowl, while the sedge- and shrub-dominated swamps support an important population of rare Australasian Bittern and three types of nationally vulnerable orchid.

Vegetation communities of the Site’s wet flats are among the few remaining in non-coastal parts of south-western Australia and the Site has some of the largest natural sedgelands in Western Australia."

SW endemic Western Corella occurs at this site (different ssp from that of the Midwest population).
