How does the far eastern curlew use Darwin Harbour?

Darwin is a very important place for the far eastern curlew, which is Australia’s largest migratory shorebird as well as one of its most endangered.

A collaboration between Charles Darwin University scientists and Larrakia Nation Rangers is revealing the most important habitats for the species around Darwin Harbour.

Researcher Amanda Lilleyman also has some helpful tips about how people can help migratory shorebirds along their local beaches.
