BirdLife East Gippsland is a regional branch of BirdLife Australia, promoting the appreciation, understanding and conservation of birds and their habitats.

The BirdLife East Gippsland region covers the East Gippsland and Wellington Shires in Victoria’s east, and includes some of the state’s most magnificent wilderness areas.

It encompasses the extensive waterways of the Gippsland Lakes, 90 Mile Beach, the iconic Snowy River region, extensive old-growth forests, alpine meadows and the last free-flowing wild rivers of southeast Australia.

2 THE GIPPSLAND LAKES IMPORTANT BIRD AND BIODIVERSITY AREA MONITORING PROJECT: A REPORT ON THE FIRST FIVE YEARS 2011 - 2015

INTRODUCTION: The BirdLife East Gippsland ‘Gippsland Lakes Important Bird and Biodiversity Area Monitoring Project’ (GLIBA Project) commenced in the latter part of 2011 in response to a call by the then Bird Observation and Conservation Australia for regional branches to ‘adopt’ a local IBA (Important Bird and Biodiversity Area). IBAs are sites which are recognised as important for bird conservation in accordance with a set of internationally agreed criteria. The Gippsland Lakes IBA is one of 314 IBAs in Australia. The Gippsland Lakes are also a Ramsar site, designated in 1982 under the terms of the international Ramsar Convention for the conservation of wetlands of national and international significance. The boundaries of the Gippsland Lakes IBA follow those of the Ramsar Site. In September 2016 the Important Bird and Biodiversity Area program was merged with other global conservation interests under the title of Key Biodiversity Areas. All of Australia’s existing IBAs were officially redesignated as KBAs. For the purposes of this report, the original designation of GLIBA will be retained. The objectives of the project are to: 1. Monitor the incidence and abundance of species identified as ‘trigger species’ for declaration of the IBA (i.e. where more than 1% of the global population of the species may be present in the area), these being: Black Swan, Chestnut Teal, Musk Duck, Fairy Tern. 2. Monitor incidence and abundance of ALL ‘wetland-dependent’ species. 3. Contribute survey data to the BirdLife Australia ‘Shorebirds 2020’ project. The goal of the GLIBA project is to detect change over time in (a) the abundance of individual bird species, or (b) composition of the avifauna community (that is, the mix of species). Surveys are conducted twice a year in June-July and November-December. As of December 2015 we have conducted 9 rounds of surveys. A core of 13 sites has been surveyed on each occasion, while some others have been discontinued for various reasons and new ones have been added. During 2016 a working party conducted a comprehensive review the first five years of our GLIBA Project. As part of the review process, working party member Dr Lucas Bluff undertook a Power Analysis of interim survey data to assess the capacity of the project to achieve results. This analysis indicated that:

3 As currently implemented the project has the capacity to detect: a. major changes to the whole avifauna community of wetland species (such as a 20% decline in species richness or mean abundance) after 5 to 10 years, and b. moderate decline (approximately 20%) in the abundance of more common species after 20 to 30 years. In the light of these comments on the project design and survey results the review concluded that the project should be continued for as long as possible and that any changes should be kept to a minimum in order to maximise the continuity of data. The following recommendations were approved by the project review working party: 1. That BLEG continue the GLIBA Project for at least 20 years (to 2031), and preferably well beyond that date. 2. The project should retain its original objective of monitoring wetland birds of the IBA with special focus on the IBA ‘trigger species’: Black Swan, Chestnut Teal, Musk Duck. 3. That BLEG actively encourage members and non-members to participate in the GLIBA Project. 4. Seek input from BLA National Office staff in developing survey and wetland bird identification skills among volunteers. 5. Surveys should be conducted twice a year at 23 designated sites (listed below). 6. Surveys should be limited to 20 minute counts from established static points wherever practicable. However, it is recognised that it may be appropriate to extend surveys beyond 20 minutes where there are large concentrations of birds over an extensive area, and that observers may need to move from a fixed point to achieve an adequate view of a survey site. In these circumstances surveys may be extended to a maximum of 40 minutes, and/or observers may move up to approx. 100 m from a fixed point to obtain better views. 7. Volunteers to be encouraged to participate in surveys across the Gippsland Lakes as a whole, to avoid becoming associated with a narrow set of sites. 8. An annual report should be provided to BLEG members and other interested organisations and individuals; and a comprehensive review of the project should be conducted every five years. A summary version of the working party review document was published in The Chat newsletter in December 2016. This current document provides a more detailed overview of project results for the period from November 2011 to December 2015.

BACKGROUND: The GLIBA Project commenced in the latter part of 2011 in response to a call by the then Bird Observation and Conservation Australia for regional branches to ‘adopt’ a local IBA. As East Gippsland Bird Observation and Conservation we adopted the Gippsland Lakes IBA with regular surveys of wetland-dependent species across the IBA, with particular attention to

4 ‘trigger species’. Advice was sought from the then Birds Australia IBA Project Officer on project design, including selection of target species, survey methods and frequency of surveys. Advice was also sought from Dr Lucas Bluff of DEPI (currently Senior Biodiversity Officer, DELWP, Bairnsdale). The current project design and methodology has largely followed this advice, with minor modifications. Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs – now Key Biodiversity Areas, KBAs) are sites that are recognised as important for bird conservation in accordance with a set of internationally agreed criteria. The Gippsland Lakes IBA is one of 314 IBAs in Australia. The Gippsland Lakes are also a Ramsar site, designated in 1982 under the terms of the international Ramsar Convention for the conservation of wetlands of national and international significance. The boundaries of the Gippsland Lakes IBA follow those of the Ramsar Site. A comprehensive Ecological Character Description of the GL Ramsar Site/IBA is available (DSEWPC 2010). In 2015 the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority coordinated the development of an updated Ramsar site management plan. BLEG participated as a member of the Technical Advisory Group in the review and development of the plan (EGCMA 2015). The IBA regularly supports 1% or more of the global populations of Black Swans, Chestnut Teal, Musk Duck and Fairy Tern, which are listed as the ‘trigger’ species for the recognition of the IBA. The IBA also supports significant populations of many other wetland species including several officially recognised threatened and endangered species. Because DEPI/DELWP has been undertaking regular surveys of ‘small terns’ (including Fairy Tern) across the Gippsland Lakes for many years it was proposed that targeting Fairy Tern in GLIBA surveys would be an unnecessary duplication of effort. The ‘focus species for the GLIBA project are therefore: Musk Duck, Black Swan and Chestnut Teal. Nonetheless, insofar as the GLIBA project aims to record all wetland-dependent species, the project includes any Fairy Tern recorded during GLIBA surveys. The GLIBA project builds on birding records across many sites since the foundation of the club (as EGBOC) in 1982. In 2009 the club commenced a two-year project titled ‘Longitudinal study of bird communities of coastal wetlands and beaches in East Gippsland’ with funds from a grant under the Federal Government Community Coastcare scheme. The aims of this project were to assess long-term dynamics in bird species diversity and abundance and to communicate results to agencies and the general public. Project activities included: 1) digitising paper records; 2) monitoring of wetlands and beach-nesting birds at selected sites; 3) analysis of data; 4) dissemination of results to relevant land management agencies, birding enthusiasts, other environmental groups and the general public.

5 Monitoring concentrated on wetland-dependent species at sites as part of the club’s regular Monday outings. In addition, quarterly surveys were undertaken at two sites at Macleod Morass and two at Nyerimilang, involving 20-minute counts from fixed points. The grant was used to purchase a Kowa spotting scope for use in surveys. General knowledge based on EGBOC records and the 2009-2010 wetlands project was valuable in selection of survey sites for the current GLIBA project. In 2012 the club designated our GLIBA project as a contribution to the BirdLife Australia national ‘Shorebirds 2020’ programme. Consultation with Golo Maurer and Dan Weller of National Office in 2013 indicated that our existing GLIBA methodology and timetable of surveys was broadly compatible with Shorebird 2020 guidelines. This meant that the GLIBA project could serve the two overlapping objectives of IBA monitoring and Shorebird monitoring without an increase in volunteer effort and without necessitating any modification of site selection, survey methodology and reporting procedures. It was agreed that GLIBA survey results would be submitted electronically in the form of Excel spreadsheets to the continuing Atlas of Australian Birds project. Once lodged, records would be shared by Atlas staff with the Shorebird 2020 project. In 2013 BLEG entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the East Gippsland Landcare Network under the terms of a Federal government-funded project titled ‘The Care Groups Caring for the Gippsland Lakes’ managed by EGLN. Our role in this multi-group project was to undertake regular surveys of wetland birds across the GLIBA and to collaborate with EGLN in the production of a book on birds of the Gippsland Lakes. Grant funds were used to purchase an additional three Kowa spotting scopes for the club. This ensured that each monitoring team had access to identical equipment for surveys at our GLIBA sites. The resulting book was publically released in early 2015 (EGLN 2014). In 2014 BirdLife Australia and (then) Victorian Department of Environment and Primary Industry made a successful joint application for funding to the Gippsland Lakes Ministerial Advisory Committee for a two-year project titled ‘Wetland wildlife hotspots and population trends in the Gippsland Lakes’ (hereafter referred to as the ‘GLMAC project’). This project included our BLEG GLIBA project as an integral component. The GLMAC project concluded in late 2015 with a final report published in 2016 (BirdLife Australia 2016).

SURVEY EFFORT: Nine surveys periods have occurred so far at a total of 26 sites. Participants have invested over 170 person-hours over a total of 161 site surveys. Table 1 summarises volunteer input to date. Thirty-four volunteers have contributed to at least one survey period, 14 to five or more surveys, and six to all nine surveys. In most instances, volunteers have taken part in surveys at more than one site in any survey period. It is encouraging to note a trend of increasing volunteer numbers with time. Total volunteer person-hours have also increased.

6 Additional surveys outside the scheduled bi-annual surveys have been conducted at some GLIBA sites during regular club Monday outings. Results of these surveys have not been incorporated into the GLIBA data base at this stage, and numbers of participants and volunteer hours have not been recorded. However, these occasions provide an opportunity for members of the club to experience survey activity and yield data to compare with regular GLIBA surveys which may help validation of the reliability of survey results.

SURVEY METHODS: The initial plan was to conduct simultaneous surveys in as many sites as practicable. In practice, the small number of volunteers meant we were limited to five survey teams. We therefore targeted five ‘key sites’ for simultaneous surveys, with an additional eight sites distributed among the five teams which were surveyed on completion of key sites. All sites were surveyed on the same day by all teams, with 5 ‘key sites’ commenced at or about 0900, and other sites visited thereafter. The rationale for simultaneous surveys was to minimise the chance of double counting birds moving between sites and to achieve a ‘snap shot’ of the distribution of birds across the entire GL system. Survey teams have a minimum of two members. Initially, it was proposed that each observer make independent counts/estimates of birds seen and that these separate records be forwarded to the project coordinator who would then moderate discrepant results to arrive at a final set of figures. In practice it was not possible to implement this procedure consistently, with most teams submitting a return reached by consensus. In recent surveys we have modified recording, with team members collaborating in identification of species and counting/estimating numbers. Experience during GLIBA surveys as well as other monitoring projects undertaken by BLEG in recent years suggests that there is a high level of consistency in the ability of experienced volunteers to identify species and count/estimate numbers. Thus, it is deemed unlikely that the change to survey returns based on consensus between participants has significantly compromised the robustness of data generated. By June 2013 it became clear that it was not possible to maintain simultaneous surveys, partly because it was increasingly difficult to mobilise all team members for a particular date, and partly because variable weather conditions across the GL made conditions unsuitable for surveys in some sites. It was also judged that the risk of double counting birds moving between sites was relatively low. Furthermore, surveys are aimed at obtaining site-specific data for long-term comparison, rather than to extrapolate population estimates for particular species across the GL system as a whole. Thus, possible movement of birds between sites resulting in the same individuals being recorded in different places and times by more than one team of observers is not a major issue of concern. A standard digital Record Sheet (Excel format) is provided to recording team coordinators for use in the field, which includes fields for metadata: location, GPS, date, start and end time, name of coordinator, number of participants; also fields for weather, simple

7 descriptors of habitat conditions and disturbance, notes on activities of birds, evidence of breeding etc. The form also provides space to record participants and signatures to meet OH&S requirements of BirdLife Australia.

REPORTING AND RETENTION OF RECORDS: On receipt of survey results (variously in electronic or hand written form according to preference of team leaders), the project coordinator enters data for each site on an Excel spreadsheet file arranged by year of survey. This ‘master record’ is periodically submitted electronically to the BirdLife Australia coordinator of the Atlas of Australian Birds, with a copy to the coordinator of the Shorebird 2020 project. All electronic survey records are filed in a GLIBA folder on the coordinator’s personal computer, with copies sent to the BLEG Secretary and BLEG Dropbox Folder. The following progress reports on the project have been published in the BLEG Newsletter The Chat: • ‘Gippsland Lakes Important Bird Area Monitoring Project: report on the first twelve months’, No. 55, March, 2013, pp. 7-9. • ‘Report on GLIBA Survey, mid 2013’, No. 57, September, 2013, pp. 10-11. • ‘Gippsland Lakes Important Bird Area monitoring project: report on the first three years’, No. 62, December 2014, pp. 22-24. • ‘The 2014 GLIBA surveys’, No. 63, March 2015, pp. 10-11.

SURVEY SITES: Sites were chosen to include a range of wetland habitats distributed along a roughly E-W axis and known ‘hot spots’ for target species (with the exception of Fairy Tern, which are monitored by Biodiversity Officers of DELWP). Choice of sites was constrained by accessibility, being confined to public land with easy access by conventional vehicle and affording reasonable visibility of wetland habitat. (There is one exception, with the Bosses Swamp South viewing point being on private land by arrangement with the landowner.) Unfortunately, it has not been possible to include any sites along the southern shores of the lakes system with the exception of Lake Tyers and the western extremity of Lake Reeve. Thirteen sites were chosen at the beginning of the project of which 10 have been surveyed on every occasion (three were inaccessible due to flood) (Table 2). The two Heart Morass West sites are essentially the same site, viewed from opposite vantage points. In effect, all

8 13 original sites have thus been surveyed throughout the life of the project to date. These original sites are referred to in this report as ‘core sites’ and are the focus of analysis of abundance by survey periods. A further 12 sites have been added at various times as the project developed. These sites cover a range of major wetland habitats as defined by the Gippsland Lakes Ramsar Site Management Plan (EGCMA 2015). The area visible from site viewing points is highly variable, ranging from about 2ha at Bosses Swamp North to about 450ha at Jones Bay The Cut. No attempt has been made to assess relative species richness or abundance across sites by standardising count data by total area visible from viewing points; that is, survey data at this stage cannot be used to estimate population densities across sites. The 11 Main Lakes sites vary from saline to brackish, while the 13 Fringing Wetlands sites range from permanent freshwater (e.g. Macleod Morass), through temporary freshwater (e.g. Longford Swamp) and permanent brackish (e.g. Hollands Landing) to temporary hypersaline (e.g. Lake Reeve). The suite of sites forms two distinct geographical clusters (see Map), with Eastern Sites extending from Lake Tyres to Macleod Morass and Western Sites from Victoria Lagoon to Sale and The Honeysuckles. Within each cluster there is a range of habitat types. It is important to stress that constraints on site selection mean that sites are neither a random sample nor necessarily a representative sample of the range of wetland habitats. It is therefore not possible to extrapolate from site survey data to estimate species richness and abundance across the lakes system as a whole. The 23 sites to be surveyed from 2016 onwards include all those listed in Table 2 for 2015, with the exception of Lake Bunga, Jones Bay Sand Islands and Jones Bay NW, and with the addition of a new site at Sale Common West (boardwalk). (See also legend for the Map, where continuing sites are listed in bold type.)

SPECIES RICHNESS, ABUNDANCE, FREQUENCY AND DISTRIBUTION: Ninety-nine species of wetland-dependent birds have so far been identified across the Gippsland Lakes. This is a provisional figure based on records compiled by BLEG from club surveys, published sources and a variety of other reports. The total includes vagrants and historical records of species which have not been encountered in the GLIBA for many years. Further search of varied sources, including data bases, is likely to yield additional species, but it is probably safe to regard the total number of species that might be encountered over the life of the project to be about 100. Some are small and cryptic species, notably crakes and rails, with a low probability of being detected from most site viewing points. For this analysis two sets of data for the period 2011-2015 are considered: 1. results of all surveys (n= 161) across all 25 sites (referred to as ‘All Sites’), and

9 2. results of the subset of surveys (n=114) conducted at the 13 original sites (‘Core Sites)’. Because the smaller data set pertains to the same selection of sites over the life of the project to date it provides a more reliable basis for assessment of species richness, abundance and reporting rates over time. As the project develops in the future it will become possible to include further subsets of sites that were added after the commencement of the project, thus allowing for long-term analysis of data pertaining to an expanded site list. Across All Sites a total of 71 wetland-dependent species and 103,345 individual birds have so far been recorded; for Core Sites the figures are 65 species and 77,075 individual birds (see Table 10). Adding more sites over the life of the project appreciably increased the total number of birds recorded, but only marginally increased the number of species. The bulk of the increase in both measures was contributed by the two additional Jones Bay sites (Sand Islands and North West). Table 3 shows the distribution of species and individuals by semester (see also Figure 1). Results are listed for all 25 sites (the two Heart Morass West locations being treated as a single site) and for the 13 core sites that have been surveyed every semester to date. Figure 1 provides a graph of species richness and abundance for All Sites, while Figure 2 shows results for the Core Sites, with breakdown by ‘winter’ and ‘summer’ semesters in Figures 3 and 4. Figure 1 suggests that there has been a moderate trend of increasing species richness and abundance over the project period to date. These trends are still evident for the Core Sites (Figure 2), but the increases are more modest. However, comparison of Figures 3 and 4 indicate that while there have been increasing trends in species richness and abundance in summer, these are substantially counterbalanced by trends in winter that have fluctuated more sharply. It is too early in the project to reach any firm conclusions. However, the available data suggest a number of preliminary observations outlined below. It is important to note that a comparison of results between semesters is not always valid, because of the changing number of sites surveyed over time. For example, total abundance is influenced, at least in part, by the number of sites surveyed, and therefore is likely to be greater in more recent survey periods as more sites were added. To control for possible biases introduced by addition of more sites, comparisons between semesters should be confined to the original 13 core sites that have been surveyed in each semester. Figures on the number of observers and person-hours (Table 1) suggest no clear impact on the number of species and number of birds recorded. That is, current observer ‘effort’ and ‘effectiveness’ seems to have been roughly stable over time. The number of species varies seasonally, being generally lower in semester 1 (midyear/winter) than in semester 2 (late year/summer) – see Table 3, Figures 3 and 4. However, figures in Table 3 indicate that adding more sites has resulted in greater numbers

10 of species being recorded (compare figures for ‘all sites’ and ‘core sites’). Thus, we may provisionally infer that seasonal factors influence species richness. While abundance (total numbers of birds regardless of number of species) varies between survey periods there is no clear seasonal pattern. In short, variations in abundance are less likely attributable directly to seasonal factors. The average number of species per site is shown in Figure 5 and abundance (total number of individual birds) in Figure 6. The average number of species across all sites is 11, varying from a low of 3.8 for Bosses Swamp North (18 surveys) to a high of 20 for Jones Bay Sand Islands (only two surveys). There is a substantial variation in abundance across the sites, with Jones Bay The Cut and the adjacent Jones Bay Sand Islands averaging well over 3000 individuals per survey, while Bosses Swamp North supports the fewest number of individuals with an average of 15. The most abundant species, with over 38,000 individuals recorded, is the Eurasian Coot. Table 4 shows the most abundant species by rank with numbers in excess of an arbitrary limit of 500 individuals. Abundance of IBA target species are shown in Table 5. Reporting rates indicate the frequency with which species are recorded. For example, a report rate of 1.00 indicates a species recorded during every survey; a report rate of 0.5 indicates a species recorded in half of all surveys. Report rates are an indication of incidence (presence/absence) rather than overall numbers. Species with higher report rates are liable to be present at multiple sites over time; a high report rate is thus a rough indication of a species that is widespread in the Gippsland Lakes. Two sets of report rates are used here: the first is for the 71 species recorded in the 161 surveys across all 26 sites, the second is for the 65 species recorded in the 114 surveys at the 13 core sites. Table 6 lists all species recorded in systematic order, with report rates shown in respect of all sites and core sites. The mean report rate for all 26 sites surveyed is 0.12, and the rate for the 13 core sites is 0.17. The number of species with report rates at or above the mean for all sites is 29 (40.8% of all species recorded at all sites), and for core sites is 21 (32.3% of all species recorded at core sites). Tables 7 and 8 sort species by report rates for all sites and core sites respectively, listing species with report rates at or above the mean report rate for each group of sites. The IBA trigger species Black Swan and Chestnut Teal are the most and third most frequently recorded species respectively in both sets of sites. There is a broad similarity of relative rank in report rates for other species between the two sets of sites. Report rates for IBA trigger species Musk Duck, Black Swan and Chestnut Teal at core sites are shown in Table 9. The project is not designed to assess causal relations between variations in species richness and abundance and ecological conditions. Consequently, it is only possible at this stage to speculate on the possible drivers of variations in the wetland bird communities across the GLIBA. These are likely to be a combination of local factors (such as seasonal or other cyclical or stochastic changes in the ecological character of the lakes and their extensive

11 catchment) and larger-scale changes across variable time-scales in ecological conditions in southeast Australia and the Murray-Darling catchment and beyond. A decline in species richness and abundance within the GLIBA should not necessarily be interpreted as indicating periods of diminished ecological health of the lakes system, as it could be a response to the availability of favourable conditions elsewhere. Similarly, an increase in species richness or abundance might be a sign of either highly favourable conditions within the lakes system, or of declining conditions elsewhere in the ‘normal’ range of widely distributed and/or mobile species. At even larger scales, variation in ecological conditions at continental and hemispheric levels may also have a bearing on movements and numbers of nomadic and migratory birds into and out of the Gippsland Lakes. Data on a range of ecological variables such as hydrological factors, water quality, algal blooms etc. which may have a bearing on bird communities are gathered by various agencies. It may become possible in the future to explore possible correlations between bird population dynamics and changes in other aspects of the ecological character of the Gippsland Lakes.

SPECIES OVERVIEW: This section provides a brief overview of abundance by semester and mean counts by site of a selection of more commonly encountered or abundant species. All 29 species with report rates at or above the mean for all sites (Table 7) are included. These species represent: 1. most families of wetland birds present in the GLIBA: ducks, grebes, cormorants, herons etc. 2. a range of foraging niches: piscivore, invertivore, carnivore, herbivore, omnivore 3. major habitat requirements: open water, shallow water, mudflats and margins, freshwater, saline-tolerant 4. varied grouping behaviour from predominantly solitary to highly gregarious species. Several other species with reporting rates below the overall mean are also dealt with here, being: Musk Duck, included as it is an IBA ‘trigger species’; and moderately abundant and/or widespread members of otherwise poorly or unrepresented groups: Red-necked Avocet (an occasionally abundant nomadic wader), Red-capped Plover (non-migratory wader), Sharp- tailed Sandpiper (the most numerous and frequently recorded long-distance migratory wader) and Golden-headed Cisticola (the most commonly recorded wetland-dependent passerine). A total of 34 species, or almost half of all wetland species recorded by the project, are thus dealt with here. The abundance by semester and mean distribution by site of each species is graphically represented in Figures 7-74. Individual species summaries follow. Comments on trends in abundance refer only to the period 2011-2015 and should be treated as highly provisional and subject to revision in the light of available longer term data as the project continues.

12 Musk Duck (Figures 7, 8) Present in low numbers mainly in eastern sites. Particularly associated with open water, saline tolerant. Population appears stable, although possibly unusually large numbers noted in 2015-1. Musk Duck are consistently reported in low numbers during GLIBA surveys and at other times on scheduled BLEG surveys at additional sites across the Gippsland Lakes. On the basis of count data for the last decade or more it seems unlikely that the Gippsland Lakes regularly support a sufficient proportion of the global population of Musk Duck to warrant the continued listing of this species as a ‘trigger species’ for the IBA. Black Swan (Figures 9, 10) The second most abundant species in the GLIBA, more abundant in semester 2 (all years), with notably low counts in semester 1 of 2012 and 2015, but with overall trend of increasing abundance. Most abundant at eastern sites; fresh and saline habitats. Australian Shelduck (Figures 11, 12) Low abundance with major spike in semester 2 2015 when large numbers present at Jones Bay Phillips Lane site. Insufficient data to indicate trends. More abundant in saline habitats. Grey Teal (Figures 13, 14) Highly variable abundance; overall trend is moderate increase with decline in 2015. Mostly western sites, fresh and saline. Chestnut Teal (Figures 15, 16) Variable abundance with moderate increasing trend. Widely distributed in fresh and saline habitats but most abundant in freshwater swamps.

Little Black Cormorant (Figures 31, 32) Variable abundance with particularly high numbers semester 1 2012 and semester 2 2013 followed by currently declining trend. Mostly in eastern sites, predominantly saline. Australian Pelican (Figures 33, 34) Stable to moderately increasing trend. Present at most sites both fresh and saline. Eastern Great Egret (Figures 35, 36) Declining trend in abundance. Widespread across GLIBA, but most numerous saline sites. White-faced Heron (Figures 37, 38) Declining trend in abundance.

Confined to sandy shores and mudflats, saline sites. Masked Lapwing (Figures 61, 62) Stable to moderate declining trend in abundance. Widely distributed in most sites. Sharp-tailed Sandpiper (Figures 63, 64) Variable incidence and abundance, but insufficient data to indicate trends. Only present at saline mudflats and sandy shores. Whiskered Tern (Figures 65, 66) Erratic incidence and insufficient data to suggest trends in abundance. Present in semester 2 of last three years of survey period only. Patchy incidence both fresh and saline sites. Crested Tern (Figures 67, 68) Probably stable abundance, with peak numbers semester 1 2013. Mostly saline eastern sites. Pacific Gull (Figures 69, 70)

15 Probably stable abundance with peak in semester 1 2012. Mostly eastern saline sites. Silver Gull (Figures 71, 72) Overall stable abundance with peak in semester 1 2013. Predominantly eastern saline and freshwater sites. Golden-headed Cisticola (Figures 73, 74) Probably stable abundance, but insufficient data. More prevalent eastern sites, both fresh and saline. Table 10 summarises trends for each species. Of the 34 species listed, general trends in abundance can be grouped as follows: • steady/no clear change in trend: 8 species • probable increase: 9 species • probable decline: 8 species • uncertain/insufficient data available: 9 species Over the survey period populations of IBA trigger species appear to have remained stable (Musk Duck) or increased moderately (Black Swan and Chestnut Teal), with Fairy Tern recorded only incidentally. It should be stressed that trends identified here refer only to survey sites within the Gippsland Lakes and do not necessarily indicate any change in abundance at local level of the Gippsland Lakes IBA as a whole, the broader catchment area of the lakes, or even larger levels such as southeast Australia. Thus, for example, species identified as in decline at GLIBA sites may simply have dispersed from surveyed areas to other parts of the Gippsland Lakes, the wider catchment area or even further afield.

CONCLUSION: In broad terms the goal of the GLIBA project is to detect possible changes over time in (a) the abundance of individual bird species (with particular attention to IBA ‘trigger species’) and (b) the composition (or mix) of wetland bird species. That is, the project seeks to answer the questions: ‘are particular species becoming more or less numerous?’, and ‘is there any change in the composition of the wetland bird community?’ Ideally, these questions should be answerable with the quantitative data generated by surveys. Any trends suggested by the data at this five-year point in the project must be treated with extreme caution; variability is to be expected, and it is premature to suggest any conclusive changes in abundance of any species over the project period to date. Nonetheless, the figures may provide at least a preliminary reference point for future comparison of abundance of the selected species. It is too early to be able to determine whether the changing abundance shown in the figures are part of long-term increase or decline, or

16 represent repetitive cyclical patterns of growth and decline of local, regional, continental or global populations, or are random fluctuations. The uncertainties in interpretation of the data to date highlight the importance of continuing the project well into the future. It is also important to recognise that the project is not designed in a way that enables any determination of the causes of any observed changes, which must therefore be only speculative. The achievements of the project to date may be summarised as follows: • A developing data base of records of species richness and abundance of wetland dependent birds across the IBA employing a standardised methodology. Records are contributed to Birdata (ongoing Atlas project) and Shorebird 2020 program of BirdLife Australia. • Capacity-building in monitoring activities of BirdLife East Gippsland through involvement of increasing numbers of volunteers. • Contribution of results to other environmental agencies and the wider community through reports, commentary and involvement of community members in activities of BirdLife East Gippsland.
