#AOC2023 becomes #AOC2025 PERTH!

Helping to launch this report at Automation Over Coffee today. This is why we do what we BirdLife Australia do- to fight to turn around the plummeting falls in bird populations that the threatened bird index is tracking. theguardian.com/australia-news…

How little we know about even the commonest Australian birds. By Richard Noske AOC2023 #AOC2023

Post-release monitoring of translocations is important to understand outcomes, and adapt for improved future outcomes. But often projects see the translocation as the final step, says @ZoeStoneNZ. #AOC2023

Had the pleasure of presenting on the importance of considering how multiple #anthropogenic stressors affect birds at #AOC2023 🦅🦆🦜🦉Can’t wait for AOC2025 in Perth! AOC2023

Beeyali at the Australasian Ornithological Conference #AOC2023! Leah Barclay presenting in person for us with Lyndon Davis on video giving an overview of the project with a black cockatoo on his head (how we should all deliver papers I think).

We had a fun few days representing the University of Newcastle Conservation Science Research Group at the 2023 Australasian Ornithological Conference! AOC2023 😃 Louise Williams Mattea Taylor Andrea Griffin Michael Stat

Clearly the local birds can spot an #AOC2023 attendee.

The main conference #AOC2023 might be finished but field trips and workshops are still on today! The Minjerrib (Stradbroke Island) tour paused the birding for a sleepy koala 🐨

A few items left in lost property after the conference - anyone recognize them? Also keen to get lanyards back to reuse them next conference if you still have one get it back to us or hold on to it for 2 years please! #AOC2023
