Curlew Sandpiper feeding
10,000 Birds
OCTOBER 25, 2020
One of the more common shorebirds along Broome’s beaches is the Curlew Sandpiper- Calidris ferruginea. They are often found in large mixed flocks and many have recently arrived from the Northern Hemisphere. All of the shorebirds that have recently arrived are hungry after their long flights to Australia. On the beaches they are not able to feed all of the time, because they are dependent on the tide.
