Nope! There’s been a little bit of exploration from a couple birds (one even stayed the day at the GP track!) but they’ve mostly settled in the woodlands where they were released.

Efforts will continue in N Vic, particularly through Odonata’s network of havens - I agree, those in the north are in desperate need of assistance.

Thanks for that, I was curious as to where your thoughts were heading.
The island itself could support 50 - ~300 birds. I imagine birds will also eventually go to French Isl and perhaps attempt Morn. Pen., where they previously were also.

How so? They were found here until the 1970s and we’re now fox-free.

It would not have been possible without the dream team effort between @coexistconservlab.bsky.social , the Phillip Island Nature Parks & the Odonata Foundation.

(I was hoping to add some more intelligent thoughts but it’s been an absolutely massive week and I am now ready to curl up into the foetal position for a while. In between checking GPS locations of the birds, of course)
