Meet the Guest

Dr Amanda Lilleyman loves the Top End environment and the Territory lifestyle. She came to Darwin from the Central Coast of NSW to study migratory shorebirds. Amanda established the BirdLife Top End branch in Darwin in 2018 (along with a team of enthusiastic birders) and then kicked off the Our Top End Birds campaign, where the community voted the Bush Stone-curlew as the top bird of the Top End. Amanda supports ongoing shorebird monitoring and protection in Darwin, and runs community events such as the inaugural Darwin-Garramilla Shorebird Festival.
