About the event

Each year thousands of migratory shorebirds journey over 10,000 kilometres from the northern Hemisphere to the rich feeding grounds of Moreton Bay. Many spend the southern summer here at Pumicestone Passage, using the tidal mudflats to re-fuel and to rest at high tide. These remarkable birds - many threatened - including godwits, knots, plovers, stints, and the critically endangered Far-Eastern Curlew, offer us the chance to see one of the world's greatest avian spectaculars. Come and visit Kakadu Beach over the morning high tide, where friendly experts and volunteers will be available with spotting scopes and binoculars to help you identify these feathered visitors. Watch a live stream from a roost camera and join in children’s activities for family fun! One of the Bribie Island Nature Festival events: Wings over the World 26 — Bribie Island Nature Festival
