200 #kakapo! The population has reached 200 today, with the latest chick (Esperance-3-B-19) becoming a juvenile - when we add birds to the official tally. There are probably more kākāpō alive now than at any time for ≥70 years. #kakapo2019 #conservation pic:@deidre_vercoe

How far do Ibis fly?
“Walnut”, a juv Straw-necked Ibis, has flown up to 400km in a day & over 2000km from the Victorian boarder to Ingham, Qld
Birds were caught in the Murray River Basin. Some disperse to nearby farm paddocks while others are more adventurous
