Eastern Curlew Project: Lee Point, Darwin

Description

Conservation Volunteers Australia will be helping to restore important habitat to protect the critically endangered eastern curlew (Numenius madagascariensis), a large wading shorebird reaching up to 66cm tall. We will be carrying out different restoration activities to improve the habitat and doing bird surveys to monitor the eastern curlew population at Lee Point Reserve. Depending on the time of year, you might see other migratory bird species, waders and nesting turtles on the beach.
