Bird Identification Flyer – provided by Dr. Kate Brandis (UNSW)
The waterbird identification flyer features 16 wetland birds that may be seen in our local wetlands and wet areas. Three of these are iconic species for our Waterbirdtracker project, they are: Glossy Ibis, Magpie Goose and Spoonbill (Royal). Students can print out and take the flyer with them to assist them in identifying birds using their wetlands or use the pictures for classroom learning projects.
Waterbird Identification
Dr Kate Brandis of the University of NSW (UNSW) has prepared a number of educational resources for teachers and educators that help explore our unique waterbirds and their important wet habitats.
Kate has also conducted an exciting project to map the movement of waterbird species through their feather analysis.
Waterbird Video
Garry Clark of Armidale, is a bird videographer and has provided this project with a waterbird video on YouTube, titled: Waterbird Tracker (Flagship Species).
