Bird Search

Although birds are usually quite easy to see, often they are more difficult to identify. You may have had the briefest glimpse or heard a snatch of its song, or perhaps it was a bird you have never seen before. The best place to look for it is here.

You will discover the remarkable variety of birds that occur across Australia. With stunning images of featured species and some recordings of their songs and calls, you are sure to find that mystery bird, or learn more about species you already know.

Migratory Shorebird Program

Migratory shorebirds undertake the longest known migration of any species, flying the length of the East Asian Australasian Flyway from Australian shores to the Arctic Circle to breed each year.  Destruction and degradation of their wetland and intertidal habitats means migratory shorebirds have experienced population declines of up to 80% over the last 30 years. BirdLife Australia’s Migratory Shorebird Program holds a range of projects (including the Australian Shorebird Monitoring) aiming at improving the situation of our migratory shorebirds. It brings together national and flyway-wide partners including federal, state and local governments, universities, NGOs and volunteer groups to coordinate and implement a flyway-wide response to the extinction crisis. BirdLife’s Broome Bird Observatory and Australasian Wader Studies Group are key partners in the delivery of the Program.
