Work will involve re-sighting colour-banded birds, nest searching, monitoring all breeding attempts, placement and upkeep of nest cameras, assessing nest camera footage, assisting in field experiments, mist netting and data entry. The field site is located at a remote sanctuary an 8-hour drive from Broome, WA. Volunteers will be camping in tents
