COGites may be interested in the next ANPS talk by another economist with an interest in ornithology
Helping the little blokes back into the housing market: the case of the White-faced Storm Petrel
Guest Speaker: Chris Lloyd Chris Lloyd swapped a thirty year career in labour market economics for the obvious financial advantages of ornithology. Specialising in seabirds and endangered species husbandry he now divides his retirement between working
on offshore islands, Powerful Owls and being a house husband. For the last decade he has worked with NPWS in seabird monitoring and habitat restoration. For a few years one of the targets of this work is a little bloke the size of a Noisy Miner called the
White-faced Storm Petrel. This bird faces the usual key threatening process that afflict all other pelagic species including the ‘out of sight out of mind’ phenomena but one of its key problems is the attitude of one it ordinal mates, the Wedgetail Shearwater,
to the issue of breeding real estate. Chris’ talk will try to explain what role we are playing in this housing competition and what the hell is the plant connection.
The ANPS meets at the ANBG theatrette at 7:30 pm on Thursday 13 April
** Please note - their gate minder will open the ANBG gates at 6.50pm and close them at 7.35pm so (s)he can attend the meeting.
