DIURNAL ACTIVITY BUDGETS OF WATERFOWL

Google

 

AES was commissioned to repeat a PhD study done by Dr Andrew Hamilton on diurnal activity budgets of waterfowl on Lake Borrie Pond 9 at the Western Treatment Plant in Werribee. Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant is a Ramsar site and supports very large populations of waterbirds, including species such as pink-eared duck. Melbourne Water were interested to know whether there had been any changes in foraging behaviour as a possible consequence of large-scale modifications to management of the lake in recent years.
