SA Nature Festival event “Journey to Long Beach: Celebrating the arrival of migratory shorebirds to our shores for the summer”
Lower Eyre Coastcare will be hosting events in Coffin Bay for the SA Nature Festival. The main event will be on Long Beach Coffin Bay on Saturday 14th October for World Migratory Bird Day. A colourful flock of migratory birds painted at community workshops will be installed on the beach along with a flock of local beach nesting birds, real and painted. Take a walk amongst the fantastic flamboyant flock while picking up some identification tips and get to know some of the migratory shorebirds that fly from the other side of the world to spend the summer on our beaches.
Long Beach will be closed to vehicles for the day to allow for installation of the art display and the safety of visitors. Other activities starting from Long Beach include a photography walk with a professional photographer and members of the Port Lincoln Camera Club offering tips and tricks on bird photography. The Lake Wangary School will hold a sausage sizzle fundraiser in the Long Beach carpark. Check the program and book tours at naturefestival.org.au
