Michelle Gibson has just completed her first field season in the Australian Outback. Michelle left for the field on 12 July 2014 and has been surveying birds along three mega-transects (tracks) in the Australian outback. You can read about her project here. Michelle reports that her first field campaign was a great success and you can see from the photos that it was biodiverse! Michelle is currently spending two weeks at the University of Queensland with her co-supervisor Rich Fuller and the Fuller lab.
