Acoustic data now available for Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary

Acoustic data from the Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s Bowra Sanctuary is now available! Sensors have been collecting information across Bowra for the past couple of months, recording many of the property’s arid bird species. Soundscapes range from dry Mulga plains (Bowra Dry A and Bowra Dry B) to the creeks and waterholes dotted throughout this unique landscape (Bowra Wet A and Bowra Wet B).

A2O acoustic sensors now recording across AWC’s Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary

Many thanks to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) for participating in the A2O project! Acoustic sensors were deployed at Bowra in Spring 2019 following rainfall across the region. Wildflowers were blooming and Buderigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) breeding in large numbers. Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary is an important reserve located near Cunnamulla in south-western Queensland, supporting many arid and semi-arid bird species.
