And as always, thank you to everyone else that made all of this possible, especially with your donations to the crowdfunding. These are our eighth and ninth birds to be tracked.

Inhancer is thanks to Birdlife Australia as a tribute to Ian Hance, who made a huge contribution as a volunteer, spearheading a lot of the early collation and databasing of APS records.

Clive comes to us thanks to the Victorian Wader Study Group as a tribute to the late Clive Minton, widely recognised as the ‘grandfather’ of shorebird research in Australia.

We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce Clive and Inhancer, a pair caught this morning in the Macquarie Marshes and fitted with GPS 4G transmitters from Global Messenger. We are immensely grateful to the local landholders, Leanne, Garry & Jet Hall, who were central in the success.

After a quiet six months, we’ve had some terrific sightings roll in the last few days: near Ipswich, QLD, at Shoalhaven Heads & near Taree, NSW. Congrats to everyone & huge thanks for making sure we don’t miss any sightings. Keep the them coming! paintedsnipe.com.au/recent-sightin…

Yesterday, IUCN declared the Slender-billed Curlew to be extinct. How did we let this happen? What lessons are there for the future? #WaderTales blog based on paper by Graeme Buchanan et al. wadertales.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/lea… #Extinction #Ornithology

It would be wonderful if this was real! A 50' statue of the Spoon-billed Sandpiper on a roundabout. Bit concerned about the two motorcyclists heading for each other head on though! Great idea by Zoonvors Pixs though. #inspired by #waders or #shorebirds #conservation #charity
