SUMMARY:Bird-watching at Lesmurdie Brook with the Darling Range Branch. Leaders: Rachel & Mike Green
DESCRIPTION:Excursion Timing: 9.30am start -11am finish.\n\nExcursion Meeting Place: We will meet at the very top car park on Falls Road\, the FIRST car park as you drive down Falls Road from Lesmurdie. It is called Terrace Carpark on Google maps. If you have reached the Falls\, you have gone too far. Look for the DRB Nats signs.\n \nPlease note there are no toilet facilities on the walk\, but there are some close to the Falls. Bring your binoculars and wear solid footwear.\n\n\nLeaders: Renowned naturalists Rachel and Mike Green.\nThis will be a bird-watching excursion around the Upper Lesmurdie Brook. The leaders have been conducting a bird survey over the past year around the brook.\n\nThe walk is relatively easy but it is a gravel path and sometimes uneven\, so not accessible for wheelchairs. There is one very short steep section; the rest is relatively flat. There will be water in the brook and some of the local birds will be nesting. Red-tailed Black Cockatoos\, Grey Fantails\, Australian Ring-neck Parrots\, Striated Pardalotes and others have been seen nesting in the area during the survey period.\n\nPlease bring your own water as there is none on site. Toilets are available further down the road\, and there are BBQ tables for lunch. Note the weather\, and bring suitable footwear and clothing.\nBinoculars\, and a pen and paper to record sightings may be useful. Mobile phone reception is variable.\n\nPlease note there are only 20 places available.\n\n

SUMMARY:Long May They Grace our Skies - Black Cockatoo Research and Conservation 
DESCRIPTION:Main Club Meeting Hew Roberts Lecture Theatre\, UWA\, Clifton Street Nedlands \n\nMurdoch University’s Black Cockatoo Conservation Management research team has been undertaking research on Western Australia’s black cockatoos over the last 18 years. The health research on Carnaby’s cockatoos aims to better understand the potential role of disease as a threatening process for this species. Over the last 12 years\, the research team has been tracking all three species of black cockatoos using GPS and ARGOS satellite telemetry\, which enables the team to obtain flock movement\, behavioural and ecological data across different spatial scales. The talk will discuss the team’s research on black cockatoos\, as well as the applications of the findings of this research to the Keep Carnaby’s Flying – Ngoolarks Forever project\, a large-scale community engagement project support by Lotterywest from 2022-2024.\n\nProfessor Kris Warren from the School of Veterinary Medicine at Murdoch University has worked in the field of wildlife\, zoological and conservation medicine for over 20 years. Staff and students in the Conservation Medicine Program undertake research on the health of threatened wildlife species within ecological contexts\, throughout Australia and internationally\, in order to assist recovery efforts to conserve these species. Professor Warren was appointed as a Diplomate of the European College of Zoological Medicine in the Specialty of Wildlife Population Health in 2011\, and as a Member of the Zoological Parks Authority Board for Perth Zoo in 2022.

SUMMARY:Citizen Science is for everyone! - using iNaturalist to advance knowledge of our environment
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to add to the stock of knowledge of our wonderful local environment? Join the ‘citizen scientist’ movement and learn to use iNaturalist! \nIn this digital era\, we know that there are now better ways to share our nature observations than writing them down and filing the lists in a cupboard!  Most of us use our mobile phone to snap images of plants and animals. It is but a small step to upload them to the internet database iNaturalist Australia so the wider public (including scientists) can benefit from our observations. \nThe Club has had projects on the iNaturalist Australia since 2020\, as a way to share our observations with the wider community. We do this partly to discuss what we have observed\, partly to get expert opinions on identification\, and ultimately to contribute to the Atlas of Living Australia. \nIn this workshop you will learn from our experts how to set up the iNaturalist app on your phone and how to use it on your laptop. You will also learn how to make observations and how to search iNaturalist to identify what you’ve observed. \nPlease bring your smartphone and/or laptop / tablet and be knowledgeable of passwords to enable you to download from the app store (if not done before the workshop).

SUMMARY:Dragonfly biodiversity and wetland restoration by Belinda Robson.
DESCRIPTION:Dragonflies (Odonata) are some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most loved wetland insects\, yet we know very little about the ecology or biology of Australian species. There are more than 40 species found in southwestern Australia\, of which nearly half are endemic species\, and there are also endemic genera.  \n\n\n\n\nThis presentation will describe the southwest fauna and dragonfly and damselfly life cycles and report on recent research to understand patterns of species diversity in urban (Perth) wetlands to identify the qualities of wetlands needed to maximise their diversity.  \n\n\n\nBelinda is an Associate Professor at Murdoch University. She has been working on the effects of climate change on biodiversity\, especially the effects of climatic drying and is working on new ways to manage ecosystems to sustain freshwater biodiversity as the climate continues to dry.
