Lake Tyers contains many organisms, and obviously the fish are most important for many people. This part of the site is devoted to the other parts of the lake's complex biota -

animals

fish
birds

plants
crustaceans
molluscs
algae
microscopic
just a name a few

The microscopic images will be provided as movies as many of the organisms are hard to appreciate unless they are observed moving.

The aim of these pages is to heighten our awareness of the other creatures who's existence helps make up the fascinating world we live in.
