The Western Ground Parrot, or Kyloring, is a slender medium sized parrot about 30 cm long with a long tail. it is easily recognised by its mottled green feathers, yellow belly, and the bright red band above its break. Only an estimated 100-150 birds remain, with numbers falling sharply due to habitat loss, altered fire regimes, and predation by feral cats and foxes. It is now considered one of Australia's most endangered bird species.

The Southern Right Whale is a large marine mammal, growing up to 17 metres long and weighing around 100,000 kilograms. They’re easily identified by the white callosities on their heads—rough patches of skin whose patterns around the eyes, upper lip and lower jaw are unique to each whale.

These animals inhabit the southern hemisphere, from South Africa to Australia, migrating between Antarctic feeding grounds and warmer waters near the equator to give birth. In the nineteenth century, their population was estimated at 55,000–77,000, but heavy hunting reduced their numbers to fewer than 300. While protection measures have helped their numbers slowly increase, the species still has a significant recovery ahead.

In Bremer Bay, you can expect to see migrating Southern Right Whales between the months of May and November.
