The 2023 Gouldian count is completed. 27 volunteers spent a week with early starts, up at 4.30am and away at 5am.

For nearly 15 years now, we have been working on the ecology, behaviour, physiology and nutritional requirements of a range […] A key aim of the Save the Gouldian Fund is to promote research into the Gouldian finch. See the interesting findings in two updates, at June 2019 and September 2019. Estimating home ranges to look at habitat preferences […] |
