Hi everybody. The following two notices may be of interest to BIRDING-AUS
subscribers in Tasmania:
VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR POSITION
BA-TAS (Birds Australia - Tasmania) was successful in gaining a NHT grant to
survey shorebirds on
the north and east coast of Tasmania. The project is being jointly
undertaken by Sally Bryant of the Threatened Species Unit, Parks and
Wildlife, and is starting around September this year. A volunteer
coordinator is needed to provide project support, to rope in helpers and to
basically do a bit of everything. About $15,000 is available for salary as
far as it will stretch with some extra support money available. You need to
be based in Tasmania.

RESEARCH PROJECT - STUDENT WANTED
Feeding Ecology of Waders at Orielton Lagoon
BA-TAS and the University of Tasmania are desperately seeking an

of Red necked Stint and Eastern Curlew at Orielton Lagoon, just outside
Hobart. We have some grant money to support the project and the supervision
will be jointly between BA-TAS and A/Prof. Alaistair Richardson,
Zoology Department. It is a fantastic offer for any student interested in
waders and wanting to start this year.
