Voice of Byron regular, Rosie Lee, shared this Echonetdaily story about bikers harming a sensitive beach environment near Byron Bay.
Migratory birds sometimes fly thousands of kilometres before resting – and sometimes nesting – on Belongil Beach near the estuary of Belongil Creek.
The area is a sanctuary for the creatures and part of the Cape Byron Marine Park.
But their peace and quiet came to an end on Saturday, when a band of thoughtless bikers roared through their midst.
Imagine flying all that way, only to have your rest-stop disturbed by a bunch of hoons.
Fortunately for the birds, the selfish riders were caught on camera by members of a group conducting a HotSpots survey on the beach.
