Junior Explorers: All about shorebirds (7-12 years)

What are shorebirds? And why are they also known as Waders? Find out by joining this fun and fascinating activity where you'll discover the incredible diversity and surprising superpowers of these tide-driven masters of disguise. In-built compass, shrinking internal organs, sleeping on the wing, and epic migratory journeys between the Arctic circle and Australia are just some of their amazing abilities. So grab some binoculars, put on your explorer's hat, and join us to learn more about Moreton Bay's resident and migratory shorebirds, and help identify simple things we can all do to help protect these vulnerable birds.

Binoculars supplied, or feel free to bring your own.

After the activity, visit the environment centre's interactive displays or explore the beautiful natural surroundings of the wetlands.
