Abstract

The Goomig Project is an irrigated agricultural development located approximately 30 km north of Kununurra, which involved clearing approximately 9,260 ha of vegetation for agriculture. Approximately 11,470 ha of native vegetation surrounding, or remaining between, the cleared areas has been designated as a buPer area (hereafter, the buPer area) to be managed to protect surrounding conservation reserves and watercourses (Strategen 2014). Gouldian Finch monitoring in the buPer area is required as a condition of project approval and is outlined in the Gouldian Finch Conservation Plan (GFCP; Strategen 2014). Item 7 of the monitoring regime requires “annuaI monitoring of breeding populations, including timing and reproductive outputs (i.e. clutch size and fledging success), to be undertaken annually between February and July”.
