This website has been set up as part of a community education project which allows YOU to follow the movements of Wallu, the first ever Wedge-tailed Eagle to be satellite tracked, and other eagles subsequently satellite-tagged in Western Australia. This exciting and pioneering study, which now forms part of Simon Cherriman's PhD project, aims to shed light on aspects of a unique Australian eagles' ecology which have never before been researched.

Refurbished PTTs
Today I am pleased to have received two refurbished PTTs which I plan to deploy on more eagles later this year. These came from two previously tracked wedge-tails: Gidjee, our adult female who died after unexpectedly leaving home in mid 2014, and Jarrkanpa who was killed in a heat wave earlier this year. I also plan to obtain some more funding to purchase additional transmitters with the hope to increase the sample size of tagged juveniles whose dispersal behaviour I plan to track. Watch this space!
