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.
