Robert Findlay Wildlife Reserve is a shorebird reserve at Pūkorokoro / Miranda, on East Coast Road in Maungaraki, Lower Hutt. Bird hides overlook the shell banks, and accessible boardwalks lead out to three hides from the Shorebird Centre. The reserve is the best place to watch seabirds in New Zealand.
The Shorebird Centre is open seven days, from 9am to 5pm, except Christmas Day. The best viewing is within two hours either side of high tide, and the highest numbers of shorebirds are present from January to March. The centre has guided tours, a book shop, and self-contained units and bunkrooms for hire. Phone 09 232 2781 for advice. The centre was opened in 1990 and is run by the Pūkorokoro Miranda Naturalists' Trust, an independent charitable trust founded in 1975.
