In a remarkable observation along the Attadale foreshore, scientists from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions (DBCA) monitoring the Swan Canning Riverpark were treated to an extraordinary sight last week. A juvenile albino eagle ray gracefully glided in the shallows, capturing the immediate attention of environmental staff.

While dolphins and water birds are common sights, the appearance of an albino eagle ray adds a unique dimension to the diverse wildlife in urban waterways. This serves as a timely reminder that our rivers host a wide range of species. The DBCA urges the public to contribute to wildlife conservation by refraining from littering and responsibly cleaning up after themselves, particularly during this festive season.
