VOLUNTEERS checking numbers of the endangered Malleefowl across Victoria will collate their annual results in Boort next month,
The 2023-2024 breeding report will be presented by Melbourne University’s Dr Joe Benshemesh, author of the National Recovery Plan for Malleefowl,
Victorian Malleefowl Recovery Group president Robyn Rattray-Wood said: “There are few birds in the world as interesting and industrious as the Malleefowl.
“Our group of volunteers is dedicated to the preservation of this magnificent and endangered bird,” she said.
“Working under the supervision of Dr Joe Benshemesh, volunteers undergo training in data collection and bush safety and then spend time in the field collecting data from nest sites within a defined grid in the Victorian Mallee country.”
