The Global Shorebird Counts was built around a simple idea: every place matters. From internationally important wetlands to overlooked inland fields, local observations help reveal a much larger picture of migration and change.
World Shorebirds Day has never been built around a single event or website. Over time, it became a growing international community connected through migration, observation, and the simple act of returning to shorebirds year after year.
Since 2014, World Shorebirds Day has grown into a global community connected by migration, observation, conservation, and a shared admiration for shorebirds. This new portal is designed to give that community a permanent home.
