Shorebirds are birds that depend upon the shore for food, and to rest. For some birds the shore is also the place where they nest and raise their chicks. The Shoreline is between the sea and the land. It is the beaches, the rocks, the mangroves and river mouths along our coast. It is also the land close to the sea like sand dunes, mudflats, saltpans and wetlands, scrub and grassy fields close by. Three groups of birds live in this habitat: Shorebirds (also called waders) that feed along the tide line and on the mudflats and rest nearby when the tide is high Seabirds that feed out at sea and rest along the shore Waterbirds that sometimes visit the shore to feed and rest Use this App to do three things: Do a habitat scan of the place you visit to investigate if it is in good condition forShorebirds.
