Description
Morley Beach is an important site for local and trans-equatorial migratory shorebirds. It is located on the eastern shores of Wilson Inlet. Large flocks of Red-necked Avocet are often found as are good numbers of Red-necked Stint in summer. Good numbers of Black Swan and other waterfowl are to be seen on the inlet itself.
