Note:

This Program is for the early part of 2019 as there are no suitable tides for Corner Inlet during May to July. Additional fieldwork will be considered for this period and you will be advised accordingly. So far there are likely to be:

  1. A further attempt will be made to catch Eastern Curlew at Inverloch to deploy satellite transmitters.
  2. A return visit to Werribee to catch Red-necked Stint – likely later in January.
