Grey-tailed tattler in non-breeding plumage
The coastal mudflats of the bight are an important site for grey-tailed tattlers.

Limmen Bight is a bight, or large, open bay, located in the Northern Territory of Australia at the western end of the Gulf of Carpentaria about 360 kilometres (220 mi) east of the town of Katherine. It is part of the traditional lands and waters of the Marra people. It was named in April 1644 by Abel Tasman for one of his ships on his voyage of exploration along the northern Australian coast.[1] It contains the second largest area of tidal flats in the Northern Territory.[2]
