IT'S THE MOST WOMBATFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.
Happy #WorldWombatDay to all who celebrate.

Can two new rocket launch pads 'work in harmony' with endangered emu wrens, or will its construction push the species towards extinction?

Clare has mostly stayed in the south lagoon but has also spent time inland, at Morella Basin and at a small pastoral dam (see movement path from the past three weeks).

Keep following along for more movement updates!

📷Chestnut Teal update!📷

It has been busy here at hq, keep reading for some updates!

A second trapping trip was undertaken earlier this month, which was sadly unsuccessful. However, Clare, one of our female Chestnut Teals, was spotted at Morella Basin! (see image)

🦆 Last month GPS trackers were deployed on 12 Chestnut Teal (ducks) in the Coorong. Hons student @FHarrihill will use the data to gain valuable insights into their movement and habitat use.

There’s no off ramp to this btw. Fair warning.

Meet Courtney, one of our female Chestnut Teal 🦆.

After being caught at Parnka Point, she has now ventured to an inland wetland filled by recent rains. 🌧️

Some before and after photos you need to see... Macquarie Island is celebrating 10 years of being pest free. Since the last pests were removed, island vegetation has recovered and seabird populations are now flourishing https://t.co/H4RtjEjO4N

Over 70kms in just 24 hours!

📡Exciting Tracking update! 📡

In the past 24 hours, Crystal, one of our female Chestnut Teal, has travelled over 70kms, to a small inland water source south of Salt Creek.

This is the furthest movement we have seen from any individual so far...

A male individual, Casper, seemed to have followed after Crystal last night and has now stopped off in the same bay by Salt Creek.

Keep following for more exciting updates! 🦆

Great analysis. Are electric cars better for the environment than fuel-powered cars? Here's the verdict https://t.co/zN5vy6PGBO

📡Tracking update!📡

Over this weekend Clare, one of our female chestnut teals, moved over 10kms south of where we caught and tagged her three weeks ago!

Keep following along for more movement updates!

Communication is key... Malleefowl work on their mounds in pairs, moving sand to adjust to the temperature, but sometimes disagreements can happen...

Of course I'm fascinated by how this will turn out. But imagine investing the time, effort, funding and brain power into reducing extinction risk, rather than creating facsimiles of species that have been lost.
