MISSION STATEMENT The principal aim of the Victorian Wader Study Group is to gather, through extensive planned fieldwork programs, comprehensive data on waders and terns throughout Victoria on a long-term basis. This scientifically collected information is intended to form a factual base for conservation considerations, to be a source of information for education of a wider audience, to be a means of generating interest of the general community in environmental and conservation issues, and to be a major contribution to the East-Asian Australasian Flyway and Worldwide knowledge of waders and terns. FORMATION/BACKGROUND The wader banding fieldwork, which led to the formation of the Victorian Wader Study Group, commenced in December 1975. The Group was formally named in late 1978 and incorporated in 1986. Thank you to the following generous supporters: Milly Formby for doing the design of our VWSG banner that is used at public presentations.

  • DISPERSAL of CRESTED TERNS Sterna Bergii from COLONIES in SOUTH AUSTRALIA

CONNELL ''Dcbmar Park', Gordon Avenue, St. Agnes, South Australia 5097 '17 Ashmore Avenue, Pymble. New South Wales 2073 'PO Box 73. Kalangadoo, South Australia 5278 'Corresponding author Received: 30 J1111e 2001 The general dispersal of Crested Terns Sterna bergii, banded as chicks at breeding colonies in South Australia between 1955 and 1995 is described. There was a considerable movement of breeding birds between nearby colonies, and even movement between more distant colonies. Most recoveries (78%) were immature one-year and two-year birds, and both immature and mature birds dispersed similarly. There were two patterns of dispersal. Recoveries from birds which were banded at colonies in the Spencer Gulf and the Gulf St. Vincent, were mostly local within these gulfs of South Australia. Those from the other colonies were eastwards along the Victorian coast and then northwards along the eastern coast of south-eastern Australia to southern Queensland. Such long-distance movements, over 2 000 kilometres, were accomplished within three to four months of banding. The numbers recovered in various zones along the coast indicated that they were not solely a consequence of searching effort by people, but the result of a variety of ecological factors affecting mortality along a 3 500 kilometre coastline. INTRODUCTION reference points. From Penguin Island eastwards the reference points were Cape Nelson. Cape Otway, Wilson's Promontory. Cape Howe. One of the early projects of the Australian Bird Banding Jervis Bay.
