Just Published: The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 provides an overview of the conservation status of all Australian birds in 2020. It covers the key themes and challenges that have emerged in the last decade, and the conservation success stories. publish.csiro.au/book/7905

When did you last see them and how were they doing? Strong-billed Honeyeater, Dusky Robin and Blue-winged Parrot are Tasmanian birds that now meet the criteria for listing as threatened species under the new Action Plan for Endangered Birds.

#breaking Volunteer observers have now seen 62 wild #OrangeBelliedParrots at Melaleuca. That will probably be the total, bar some late arrivals. Better than 50 of last year but short of the predicted 77. It means that up to 130 died during winter which is very sad.

.BirdLife Tasmania today joins RSPCA Tasmania in calling for the annual Tasmanian duck season to be cancelled, as recent counts show mainland waterfowl populations at crisis point - and with Tasmania a safe refuge for these birds.
