Birds of Yarnbala

Yarnbala’s vegetation has been valued by ecologists as ‘excellent’ due to intact plant strata with minimal disturbances and suitable habitat for a wide range of bird species. A large amount of small passerine bird species of regional and state significance call Yarnbala home with some species flagged as having a national conservation rating. 

Neighbouring Yarnbala, is an area of national importance where a variety of rare and threatened migratory shorebirds arrive from the northern hemisphere in spring time, spending the summer months on our shores. Migratory shorebirds travel up to 26,000 kilometres on these return journeys, crossing state boundaries, countries and oceans, linking the ecosystems.

This is a fantastic opportunity to witness these amazing birds which include a number of threatened species including the Red Knot, Curlew Sandpiper, Bar-tailed Godwit, Greater Sand Plover and resident shorebird species such as the Fairy Tern, Australian Pied Oystercatcher and Sooty Oystercatcher.
