10,000 Birds

JANUARY 24, 2016

They are in large flocks when they roost of several thousand birds, but often they will roost among their own species. Walking from the Port towards Town Beach you often find the first group of shorebirds to be the ever noisy and flighty Common Greenshank followed by the Grey-tailed Tattlers and Terek Sandpipers.

When they depart on their northward migration it is possible to go into Roebuck Bay in the late afternoon and watch them group up, call and then take off in beautiful V-formations. The Red Knot are very good at hiding amongst the flock and they are one of the species that are of most concern. The return of the birds is a mystery.
