23.01.2022 We often see Pacific Gulls on our Coorong shorelines. This immature gull was playing with a fish in the Coorong.

17.01.2022 They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

16.01.2022 Our frog survey results from 28th October, 2020 are in! Here is the link to one of the surveys if you are interested in seeing how they work and listen to the frogs calling: https://frogwatchsa.com.au//survey/detail/64518 Survey No1: The following species were identified:... Crinia signifera (Common Froglet) Limnodynastes tasmaniensis - North (Spotted Marsh Frog, Spotted Grass Frog) Survey No 2: The following species were identified: Limnodynastes dumerilii (Eastern Banjo Frog, Pobblebonk, Bull Frog) Limnodynastes tasmaniensis - North (Spotted Marsh Frog, Spotted Grass Frog) Survey No 3: The following species were identified: Crinia signifera (Common Froglet) Limnodynastes dumerilii (Eastern Banjo Frog, Pobblebonk, Bull Frog) Limnodynastes tasmaniensis - North (Spotted Marsh Frog, Spotted Grass Frog) Survey No 4: The following species were identified: Crinia signifera (Common Froglet) Limnodynastes dumerilii (Eastern Banjo Frog, Pobblebonk, Bull Frog) Limnodynastes tasmaniensis - North (Spotted Marsh Frog, Spotted Grass Frog)

11.01.2022 Mundoo Island Station participated in the National Shorebird Monitoring Coorong Winter Waterbird count in August and have just received the results from Birdlife Australia: You counted a total of 51,080 birds of 71 species or categories (species groups where the exact species could not be identified in the field, such as Teal spp.) throughout the Coorong. Among the 71 species, 4 migratory shorebird species were recorded. As a comparison, the 2019 Winter Count recorded 31,473 ...birds of 43 species with only 3 migratory shorebird species present. The Coorong is a known internationally important site for many migratory shorebird species. For example, in the 2020 Summer Count (survey completed between 31 January and 1st February 2020), some species such as Red-necked Stint or Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper were recorded in internationally significant numbers (i.e. more than 1% of the total flyway population), and Curlew Sandpipers were recorded in nationally significant numbers (i.e. more than 0.1% of the total flyway population). None of the observed shorebird species have met these criteria during the 2020 Winter Count. However, 4375 Red-necked Stints were counted this winter, just off from the international significant threshold (i.e. 4750 individuals required to meet the criteria). This number meets our expectation that around 30% of the summer population would remain within the site over the winter period. Photo: 2 of only 3 Common Greenshank recorded in the survey.

07.01.2022 We mustered our wild horses today. ... it was a wild ride! (Not the best photos but captured the essence of the muster whilst underway!)

07.01.2022 The numerous sets of cygnets are growing rapidly and learning survival skills from their parents

06.01.2022 Great news for our islands and region

05.01.2022 Our wetlands look stunning today in the beautiful sunshine. I undertook 4 frog surveys

03.01.2022 This is fascinating information from Birdlife Australia (26 October 2020). We have Bar-tailed godwits in the Coorong (both sub species) and occasionally Black tailed godwits. What amazing migratory birds! (Photo of Bar tailed godwits in the Coorong by Sally Grundy) Back in 2007, the world was stunned to learn of a Bar-tailed Godwit (known as E7) which had established a world record flight by flapping non-stop from Alaska, across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand, covering 11,7...60 kilometres without a break. And that world record non-stop flight has just been smashed! The new record was set by another Bar-tailed Godwit, known as 4BBRW, which took off from its breeding grounds in south-western Alaska and didn’t stop till it had reached the Firth of Thames in northern New Zealand, covering more than 12,800 kilometres in the process (though was probably closer to 12,200 kilometres when rounding errors are taken into account). The non-stop flight took just over nine days, and would have been even quicker if strong easterly winds hadn’t pushed him towards Australia and away from his intended destination. Godwits usually aim to be assisted by tailwinds while migrating, but, obviously, this does not always eventuate. Most of the Bar-tailed Godwits seen in Australia originate from Asia involving shorter non-stop flights, as they refuel at mudflats along the way rather than Alaska. Unsurprisingly, 4BBRW was said to be exhausted by the time it reached New Zealand. Following the bird’s journey was made possible because it was fitted with a 5-gram, solar-powered satellite tag, so its journey was viewed by scientists more or less in real time.

01.01.2022 So many environmental benefits from the River Murray flowing through the barrages into the Coorong and out the Murray mouth.
