About

Try the area around the small car park and the moorland either side of the main road 0.5 miles further north. Probably easiest to find when displaying in April / May or when they have young around July. Breeds on moors in summer moving to the coast for winter months
Most likely to be seen along the road during the summer months although can be found throughout the year. During the autumn and winter Balranald is a more likely location. Often requires patient waiting during the summer in particular.
