In the space of a single year, one adult male Straw-necked Ibis tracked from the Macquarie Marshes travelled a total of 3,665 km. An adult female from the same place travelled 3,217 km. Both of these birds travelled long distances in summer and autumn but ‘settled down’ over winter at one place. Some Straw-necked Ibis have travelled from Victoria to Queensland in just a few days.”
