unusual facts about Curlew Sandpiper



Lake Macleod

Some 382  km2 of the permanent ponds in the north-western part of the lake have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because they support Fairy Terns, over 1% of the world populations of Red-necked Stints, Curlew Sandpipers, Banded Stilts, Red-necked Avocets and Red-capped Plovers, as well as a population of Dusky Gerygones.
