In the arid outback, one popular places that avid bird watchers will go to see birds are the local sewage ponds. The Alice Springs Sewage Ponds are no different, often providing a stop-over habitat for those birds passing through and even those who may decide to stay, mate and nest.
One of the bird species that are sometimes seen at the Alice Springs Sewage Ponds are the Black Swans (Cygnus atratus).
