In focus
A remarkable journey to our shores
With its long, downward-curving bill and impressive size, the Eastern Curlew is one of the most distinctive visitors to Australian shores. It travels between north-east Asian breeding grounds and coastal feeding areas farther south. Tidal flats and safe high-tide resting places help sustain the next stage of its remarkable journey.
