HELPING MIGRANTS

A network of bird sanctuaries spanning from Russia to South Australia has been created to help migratory birds on their travels. The recently-established Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary has been declared part of the East Asianaust-ralasian Flyway Network, which encompasses 22 countries and is used by more than five million migratory birds a year. The Adelaide Sanctuary supports species such as Knot, Great Knot, Curlew Sandpiper, Bar-tailed Godwit, and Eastern Curlew.
