SUMMARY:Dr Michael Mulvaney - ‘Gang-gangs: what have we discovered and how does that help better protect them’
DESCRIPTION:Michael\, a former Government ecologist\, will update eight years of citizen science research and cover new discoveries since 2022 into Gang-gang nesting ecology and behaviour.  \nAbstract \nMichael will provide an update of the eight years of citizen science research into Gang-gang nesting ecology and behaviour which is now nearing its conclusion. The talk will cover new discoveries since a 2022 presentation by Michael and Chris Davey. The talk will describe; \n\nwhere Gang-gangs are known to nest across Australia;\nwhat guides their selection of nest trees in the Canberra area;\nwhether Gang-gang pairs return to the same nest hollow\nwhat are the greatest threats to nesting chicks\nwhat are potential consequences of climate change; and\nwhat can be done to best protect nesting Gang-gang and their chicks\n\nBiography \nMichael Mulvaney is a former Government ecologist. Red Hill is the centre of Michael’s universe and he became involved in Gang-gang citizen research when a nest site was discovered on Red Hill in 2017 and he wanted to know how important this nesting site might be. Since then he has been a supervisor of many hundreds of fellow Gang-gang lovers across their south-eastern Australia range\, who between them have documented most of what is known about Gang-gang nesting ecology and diet.  \nBookings open on 18 July at https://www.trybooking.com/DANCU
