Beskrivning
The Busselton Bird Hide is located on the Ramsar Treaty listed Vasse-Wonnerup Estuary. Good numbers of waterfowl and bushbirds are regularly seen here. Typical are: Australian Shelduck, Yellow-billed Spoonbill, Whistling Kite and Pied Stilt.
From the WA Tourism site - see link: "Vasse-Wonnerup Estuary is one of 12 Ramsar Nature Reserve wetland sites in Western Australia. Recognised as 'Wetlands of International Importance', the Vasse-Wonnerup Estuary is on the wish-list for many birdwatchers, with a walk trail and hide offering opportunities to view some 75 species of native, nomadic and migrating birds, several of which are uncommon.
Visit in spring and you’ll find cygnets and ducklings on the water, but it’s in summer that the wetlands are at their vibrant best, with more than 30,000 migratory birds arriving en masse. Explore the wetland’s open waters, sheltered bays, marshlands and shorelines, surrounded by flooded pastures, native bush and stands of paperbark trees.
Spot everything from sharp-tailed sandpipers, greenshanks and plovers, to long-toed stints, egrets, spoonbills, herons, ducks, swans, coots, stilts, avocets, cormorants. You may even glimpse swamp harriers, kites, eagles and osprey passing overhead.
Nearby, you’ll also find one of the largest ibis breeding colonies in Western Australia, while to the south lies the world’s last great tuart forest, home to parrots, possums, bandicoots and kangaroos".
