Every summer, the wetlands of Nooramunga come alive with winged visitors from all over the world.
Thousands of migratory waterbirds, including snipe, sandpipers, and tern, travel to the Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park and surrounding areas, as part of their annual nesting, feeding, and breeding lifecycle.
These birds journey up to 20,000km on their yearly migration.
