Catch and release

March saw us into our second year with Wildlife Unlimited surveying species living in the gullies and lagoons. Harp nets were used over two nights to catch microbats. Species were identified, sexed, measured and weighed. They were also health checked. Anabat detectors were also used over two weeks to record the echolocation calls of other microbats and convert the calls to sonar graphs, which then identifies the various species.
