The creatures along the shoreline fascinate me, especially the crabs and birds. 

I love the birds who perch on the rocky headlands ever watchful for food and intruders. Some of my favourites are oystercatchers and cormorants.

I also love the flocks of migratory birds such as the Eastern Curlews and Bar-tailed Godwits who travel thousands of kilometres each year to be on our shores. It is shameful that we are destroying their habitats.
