Hello subscribers
 
Members attending tonight’s COG meeting will have enjoyed Matt Herring’s excellent presentation under very trying circumstances on the Australasian Bittern in rice farms.
 
Matt mentioned that his group has officially launched their crowdfunding campaign - Tracking Bunyip Birds - to raise $50 000 so they can satellite track endangered Australasian Bitterns.
Matt asked COG members to please consider getting behind our project. Pledges start at $20, with each one entitling you to different rewards. It would be greatly appreciated if you could also share this link through your networks because they're going to need a lot of help. The page below has a campaign video, a description of the project, details of the rewards and a budget.
 
 
If they don't reach the $50K target, pledges are not withdrawn from donors and the project doesn't go ahead, but if they can make it happen then it's going to be a very exciting journey, following the bitterns' movements online. We'll learn so much, such as how mobile they are when breeding in the rice, where it is they go after rice harvest and which wetlands they depend on during the non-breeding season.
 
Many thanks for your consideration.
 
Jack Holland
 
Since he wasn’t able to provide them during the meeting as the projection failed, details for Matt follow.
