Charles Darwin University research associate Dr Amanda Lilleyman with a Far Eastern Curlew, the focus of her research in the Top End
It’s the time of year when thousands of migratory shorebirds take off from Top End coasts and fly north – some as far as the Arctic Circle.
They will return around October, but one of their strongest advocates, Dr Amanda Lilleyman, is also leaving Darwin.
A research associate in the Threatened Species Recovery Hub at Charles Darwin University for the past four years, Dr Lilleyman has made her mark in the Top End through her research into shorebirds, particularly the critically endangered Far Eastern Curlew.
