Almost a month has passed since our Whimbrels departed Broome and they have re-united at the Yellow Sea.
It is migration time and our satellite-tagged Whimbrels are on the move! Three of our Whimbrels departed Australia between 16-20th April and they are now in the northern hemisphere.
In their fifth year of tracking shorebirds, the Australasian Wader Studies Group have fitted 4 Whimbrels with satellite transmitters.
Few birds inspire awe like shorebirds – a group wetland-dwelling bird species that perform the longest feats of migration known to the natural world.
