This weeks special feature is on the Hays Inlet Restoration project and the benefits to the Eastern Curlew.

The Eastern Curlew or Numenius madagascariensis is a critically endangered wader and we at Redcliffe can still be lucky enough to see them on the intertidal flats around the peninsula including Hays Inlet, Newport Waters and Deception Bay.

Such a familiar bird from my childhood seen on many a visit to Oyster Point. To think that in forty years such a common site is now so endangered. Not on my watch!

Species decimation is a silent stalker across the country. In our lifetimes extinction rates are shameful. Thanks for the great info.
