For this activity we will be walking along the foreshore at Wynnum looking for migratory shorebirds feeding on the mudflats on a rising tide, with a shared picnic and bird call afterwards. It must be understood that there is no guarantee that the birds will cooperate with this plan, but we should have a pleasant outing regardless. I don’t expect we will walk far. I will bring some spare telescopes from the Queensland Wader Study Group.
We will base ourselves on Wynnum Esplanade at the intersection with Penfold Parade, where I will set up some camp tables after the walk for our shared picnic and bird call. There are public toilets a short distance away in George Clayton Park.
Low tide will be 0.70 metres at 12:52pm. High tide will be 1.82 metres at 6:37pm.
Meet on Wynnum Esplanade, Wynnum at the intersection with Penfold Parade. See link: meeting place.
Bring a telescope if you have one. Definitely bring a chair. As usual, also bring closed shoes, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and afternoon tea to share.
