Sandra Henderson - The Great-crested Grebe breeding event on the Cotter Dam
Shoshana Rapley - An update on the warabin (Bush Stone-curlew) reintroduction to the ACT

The first presentation will be by Sandra Henderson who will discuss the “Great-crested Grebe breeding event on the Cotter Dam”.

The main presentation will be by Shoshana Rapley, a Ph D student at the ANU, entitled “An update on the warabin (Bush Stone-curlew) reintroduction to the ACT”.

Bush Stone-curlews (called warabin in Ngunnawal language) are endangered in NSW, Victoria and South Australia. They went extinct in the ACT in the 1970s but have been reintroduced at Mulligans Flat. COG has supported the reintroduction effort since it started in 2014. For this talk, Shoshana is looking forward to updating COG on 1) what has happened in the last seven years of reintroduction efforts, 2) her honours project in 2019-2020, and 3) where to from here.
