Local bird enthusiasts are celebrating after a critically endangered Eastern Curlew successfully made its maiden flight to China, after it flew some 8,000 kilometres from the mudflats of Queensland's Moreton Bay.The Eastern Curlew population has declined by more than 80 per cent in the last 30 years
When the more mature Eastern Curlews migrated north in mid-March, three-year-old AAJ, as she's known to researchers, remained behind. The waders usually arrive at breeding grounds in Eastern Russia by May, making AAJ's late departure highly unusual. Around 1,400 Eastern Curlews roost around Moreton Bay where the last large flock remain in Australia.
I hope the bird survives among great odds
So it can be killed and eaten wetmarkets CCPChina
Great story...there are also birds that land on Pittwater that do similar journeys...I think some might even fly to Siberia? I am so horrified at our politicians destroying everything in this country. The aboriginal caves that got blown up by Rio Tinto are the tip of the iceberg
Wait till it cashes in those frequent flyer points
Then it was traded in a Wuhan wet market
Just as well we track it, if it returns it must go into quarantine.
As it flies into a wind turbine...
Cool, Now do one on the critically endangered turtles and dugongs being slaughtered under Native Title in FNQ.
Wonder if China will revoke its visa upon arrival and fabricate some lies about it? ChinaLiedPeopleDied
😮Amazing.
Will the tracker still work in a Chinese deep fat fryer though?
