Description
From November to May the Coodanup foreshore is a great location to search for migratory shorebirds such as Red-necked Stint, Curlew Sandpiper and Great Knot. Check tide time for best periods for the beach mud-flats to be exposed. Over a 150 species have been recorded at this site.
The small wetland shown on the map has seen Australian Spotted Crake and Buff-banded Rail as well as numerous other waterfowl. The surrounding bushland accounts for a good suite of bushbirds.
