The Bar-tailed Godwit is a small migratory shorebird that features on the Parramatta River. In Spring each year, the birds fly 11,000km from the Arctic Circle to feed along our foreshores before making the long flight back home in Autumn.
However, the number of visits by Bar-tailed Godwits and other migratory shorebird species to our area have been on a steady decline. 
One of the biggest threats to them is being disturbed while foraging along the foreshore. This means they are unable to feed sufficiently, which makes it unlikely they will be able to make the long flight back home. 
You can help protect these precious birds from the brink of extinction by making small changes in your behaviour, such as keeping your dog on a leash when walking along the foreshore.
This small flock was photographed at low tide in Five Dock.
