Beschreibung

Ambury Farm lies along the coast of the Manukau Harbour in the suburb of Māngere Bridge south of Auckland city. The coastline with its mud flats is an important habitat for shorebirds and you can expect to see over a thousand birds. Among the 86 bird species that have been identified to date are regulars such as Pied Stilt, , Royal Spoonbill, White-faced Heron, New Zealand endemics Wrybill, Red-breasted Dotterel, Variable Oystercatcher, and South Island Oystercatcher. You may see shags such as the Little Pied Cormorant, less regular or seasonal waders such as , , and , and gulls and terns like the White-fronted Tern. The birds can be observed out on the mud flats and - even better - at the several roosting sites close to the path during high tide.
