“Every summer for hundreds – probably thousands – of years, eastern curlews and other long-distance flyers have recuperated at #Toondah Harbour on Moreton Bay, near Brisbane, after their massive journeys back from the northern hemisphere.

Meet Dr Amanda Lilleyman. She did her PhD on #shorebirds and the #easterncurlew. Every point she is making is spot on. The developer is breaking the conditions of the permit and the people of Darwin who use this area are furious. Please share.
Please contact the NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles and the Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek.
This land is 20 minutes drive from the Darwin CBD. About of 1/4 of Australia's birds can be found in this area. Instead of promoting this as a tourist destination they want to clear it for a housing development.

Saw an excellent documentary film at the Deckchair cinema in Darwin - Flyways - which covers three sets of migratory birds. Can highly recommend!

It felt like an extra bonus to have read Harry Saddler's superb book about the Eastern Curlew as that was one of the birds followed.
