2017-2018 satellite tracked birds

We fitted 44 birds with satellite trackers during the 2017-2018 breeding season (October 2017- February 2018). Juvenile and adult ibis and spoonbills were fitted with trackers at Middle Reedy Lake, Kerang (Victoria), Kow Swamp (Victoria) and Millewa Forest (NSW).

Maps of the movements of straw-necked ibis, Australian white ibis and royal spoonbills being tracked via satellite. GPS fixes are taken every hour between 7am and 7pm, plus a midnight (roosting) fix. Images of the bird are presented above the maps where available.
