If your off to the beach this summer, watch out for the Hooded Plovers and other beach nesting birds. With fewer than 800 individuals in South Australia these littles guys need all the help they can get, especially during breeding season. Our water birds research project is helping to better understand how some of our important beach nesting birds are faring along the Younghusband and Sir Richard Peninsula ocean beaches. Get involved in the Water Bird Citizen Science Project or for more information visit Birdlife Australia or SA Government.
