Elapsed Time and Distance Records

Page 2 of 13. Click to browse

Maximum published elapsed time (y-m) and distance (km), by species, of birds banded in Australia under the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme, and birds banded outside Australia under various overseas banding schemes and recovered in Australia or its dependencies

Information derived from 'Recovery Roundup' section of The Australian Bird Bander, 1962-1976 (B) and its successor Corella, 1977 - ongoing (C)

Blank entries have been included for species that have not been recorded in 'Recovery Round-up', to draw attention to the lack of records for these species.

Compiled by Alan Leishman. Updated by Stein Boddington as data published.
