Ranging from vignettes on undervalued historical figures such as Elizabeth Gould, to detailed statistical analysis of the threats to the endangered Swift Parrot, speakers enthralled up to 60 people in the Speaker Series of this year’s fabulous Bruny Island Bird Festival.


Not all speakers left a visible trail as some choose to speak only and not use the anti-luddite props of powerpoint, but for those that did, here are the talks:
Tonia Cochran – What really happens at Inala
Shannon Troy – Orange bellied parrots
Scott Whitemore – Machine learning birdsong
Sarah Lloyd – Sex and the spring dawn chorus
Ruth Mollison – Elizabeth Gould
Criag Webb – Wedgetail Capture
Criag Webb – Rescue to Release Workshop
Clare Hawkins – Where where wedgies
CHRIS TZAROS – Out of the Blue Bruny Bird Festival 2018
