Survey/Project Name: | Hooded Plover Project (Murray Mouth) |
Abstract: | This project aims to conduct a biological survey to record the presence and activity of Hooded Plover (Hooded Dotterel) (Thinornis rubricollis), in the Coorong National Park, South Australia, to assess the impact of dredges, vehicles and foxes. The data is collected according to the minimum requirements for Biological Survey and Monitoring, and includes: - number of birds - adult or juvenile - eggs - location (GPS and description of location) - wind direction and speed - water level - what the birds are doing (eg. foraging/resting). - other significant details. Data from 2016 is available via Project 1361 - BEACH-NESTING BIRD - BIRDLIFE AUSTRALIA. |
