Hope for Hoodies


Listen Later

There’s a whole lotta plover love in this episode of Gippslandscapes when we chat with Hooded Plover guru Kasun Ekanayake from BirdLife Australia about the plight of the plover, their tenacity in raising chicks on busy summer beaches and how devoted volunteers like David Hartney from Friends of the Hooded Plover - Bass Coast and South Gippsland, are helping to save the species from extinction by protecting their vulnerable nests and chicks from threats of people, pets and predators.

Guests:

  1. Kasun Ekanayake, Beach-nesting Birds Project Coordinator at BirdLife Australia
  2. David Hartney, Friends of the Hooded Plover - Bass Coast and South Gippsland
  3. Host: Sally O'Neill, West Gippsland CMA
