👇"a million or more Oriental Pratincoles" 👇 Wow! Amazing! Whole flyway population estimated at 2.88 million by @geethansen. See @IBIS_journal paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ib… Summary of paper: wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/02/10/how… #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

Amazing & important observations by @GlobalFlyway's Chris Hassell, reporting the probable passage of a million or more Oriental #Pratincoles in NW #Australia, the itinerant nature of the phenomenon showing importance of continuous on-the-ground scrutiny! globalflywaynetwork.com.au/latest-news/

@geethansen I know that spot on Norman st, I often think we should do more to restore that area.

Great blog article highlighting the amazing study undertaken by @geethansen and colleagues to elucidate population estimates for waders using the EAAF. Not only does Birgita do important wader science, she deserves credit for the development and updating of our website!
