SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Every Spring-Summer\, approximately 37 species of shorebirds migrate to Australia to escape the freezing conditions in their northern hemisphere. They visit Australia’s coastal and freshwater wetlands to rest and feed\, enabling them to build the energy reserves they need to travel the long distance back to their breeding grounds around April. Some of these incredible birds are listed as ‘Critically Endangered\,’ so we must do eveything we can to help protect them during their stopover in Perth! You can find out more about these amazing birds (and even see a few if you’re lucky) by coming along to our World Migratory Bird Day event. \nThere will be lots of activities including: \nBirdwatching walks led by experienced birders at 8.30am and 9am. The 9am walk will have an emphasis on bird photography including ethics of bird photography. Participation in the walks will be on a first come\, first served basis. Both walks will accommodate 15 participants. \nEducational stalls by River Guardians\, Friends of Melville Bird Sanctuary\, Birdlife and SERAG (Swan Estuary Reserves Action Group) \nActivities for kids – colouring in\, craft\, and a scavenger hunt \nPrizes to be won \nLight refreshments will be provided by City of Melville. \nThis event is a collaboration between Friends of Melville Bird Sanctuary\, River Guardians\, the City of Melville\, Birdlife and SERAG (Swan Estuary Reserves Action Group) \nThis is a FREE event\, but please register your interest here. \nFor inquires please contact community@dbca.wa.gov.au \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrevious ImageNext Image
