This tour focuses on viewing the shorebirds for which Roebuck Bay and the Observatory are so famous. Out of the three-hour tour, they aim to spend approximately 2.5 hours observing shore birds and visiting roost sites along the northern shores of the bay around high tide. At this time, the shorebirds are moving from their feeding areas by the rising tide and come to rest at specific locations along the shoreline. This gives a unique opportunity to view a wide variety of shorebird species at relatively close range, which helps to discern the sometimes subtle features that distinguish the different species. Your guide will teach you key identification features, discuss the ecology and conservation importance of Roebuck Bay, and explain the incredible life cycle of its migratory shorebirds. Travel between roost sites is by vehicle, and very little walking is required; however, the terrain is uneven and can be challenging and sometimes muddy. Tour timing is tide-dependent. Bookings are essential.
