Summary: | The Tawaki Project returns to Antipodes Island in November 2023 for an extended stay until the end of January 2024 with a short visit to the Bounties on the way home. This provides the opportunity to conduct an extended GPS logger study on both Erect-crested and Eastern Rockhopper penguins during the chick-guard and crèching stage of breeding. Drone surveys are flown and satellite transmitters deployed on Erect-crested penguins to study the species pre-moult dispersal after the conclusion of the breeding season. |
