Nice write up and good set of images to go with it. As Abhishek says systematically documenting the habitat, its inhabitants and the effects of human activity will form a valuable record, since you live close it will be easy for you to document it. As we all know sooner or later there will be larger incursions of some sort. These records will help taking up the cause for protecting such habitats which support wildlife and not necessarily falling under a protected area. Such obscure habitats often throw up surprises in terms of the variety of animal and birdlife which they support as nobody would have bothered assessing their floral or faunal diversity and these days diversity and rarity of its inhabitants is critical to take up a fight for protecting a habitat in the name of conservation. Pls keep up the good job..all the best.
