Darter nesting
Note the two recently hatched chicks with the adult male.
Long Term Intervention Monitoring project is currently underway in the Gwydir catchment.
As part of this monitoring program, solar powered RMCAM internet enabled cameras and weather sensors were installed in remote locations across the Gwydir Wetlands State Conservation Area.
There is good water availability in the wetlands this season due to prolonged water deliveries to the wetlands.
A variety of waterbirds are nesting close to these cameras, including Little Pied Cormorants, Darters, Magpie Geese, Plumed Whistling Ducks and Australian White Ibis.
The obvious advantage of using this approach is being able to monitor species/events etc in a remote location, with flexible regularity and without disturbance.
