6th September was World Shorebirds Day!
World Shorebirds Day is celebrated in over 50 countries around the world.
Shorebirds are migratory birds that depend on coastal habitats for breeding, feeding, and roosting. Unfortunately, these habitats are under threat from human activity such as development, pollution, and climate change.
We have some beautiful shores and estuaries here in the UK. Take some time out and relax this weekend while watching these beautiful birds.
Quick pop quiz, see if you can identify all the birds in these photos, some are easier than others!
