Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary National Park – Winaityinaityi Pangkara encompasses over 60 kilometres of coastline adjacent to Gulf St Vincent and is home to 263 unique species of fauna and flora. Each year, migratory shorebirds undertake a long journey to feed on the shores of the sanctuary during the summer months. While paddling around the wetlands and waterways of this part of the Gulf, I can understand why. It’s an incredibly diverse and fertile ecosystem, and we must take care of these areas, as urban development threatens these small birds and their remarkable migrations.
