Their movements are also often complex, and therefore diffi cult to identify. Here we present data on the local and long distance movements of the Australian White Ibis Threskiornis […]

Nests were found in M. cardiophylla, Acacia bivenosa, A. coriacea, […]

Posted: 29/03/2021This banding project was instigated by S.G. (Bill) Lane in 1959 as an integral part of the Co-operative Silvereye Project which set out to obtain data on long-distance movements of Silvereyes Zosterops lateralis (Hitchcock and Carrick 1960). The objectives of the project had been expanded by 1966 to study the movements of diff erent breeding […]
