REPORT SUMMARY

As a species that requires large areas of relatively intact, biodiverse habitat the red goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) is considered a flagship species whose loss from an area would likely indicate an associated decline in biodiversity. Currently listed as Endangered in Queensland and Vulnerable nationally, the recent decline and probable loss of red goshawks from New South Wales make the South East Queensland (SEQ) population significant in representing the southerly extreme of the species distribution. Recent literature describing the Queensland population recommended that red goshawks should be re-surveyed in SEQ in 2011. At the end of 2013, SEQ Catchments Ltd, Griffith University, the Department of Environment & Heritage Protection, Birds Queensland and BirdLife Southern Queensland jointly supported investigations designed to determine the current distribution and breeding status of red goshawks in SEQ. Intensive surveys for the red goshawk were undertaken in areas of suitable habitat within SEQ over 60 days between December 2013 and May 2014. Despite over 470 hours of active searching over this period no red goshawks were observed. Nonetheless, 169 bird species, five of which are listed as Vulnerable or Near Threatened were observed, including all 20 other raptor species known to occur in SEQ (except the grey falcon). Whether these results indicate a decline in the red goshawk population in SEQ is difficult to establish. However, considering the success of previous surveys undertaken over a similar period in 2001 and the recent decline and possible loss of red goshawks from New South Wales, it is possible that these results indicate a continued retraction of the species’ southerly range. Further investigations are required to confirm this possibility. Recommendations: It is recommended that a workshop including species experts and relevant stakeholders is held to discuss the possible reasons and implications for the lack of observations of red goshawks during these surveys. Potential discussion points for such a workshop could include:

1. Could the results of these surveys indicate a decline in the red goshawk population in SEQ? If so, what are the causes and potential consequences in terms of landscape health implications and predator-prey interactions?

2. How can further information on the red goshawk population in SEQ be obtained and how might the collection of this information best be resourced?

3. Are there any information gaps that hinder our ability to successfully ensure the maintenance of red goshawk populations in SEQ and how might these be filled?

INTRODUCTION

As a species that requires large areas of relatively intact, biodiverse habitat the red goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) is considered a flagship species (Czechura et al. 2011) whose loss from an area would likely indicate an associated decline in biodiversity. This makes knowledge of local populations not only important in terms of the species conservation but also as an indicator of ecosystem health at a landscape scale. Red goshawks are listed as an Endangered species in Queensland (Nature Conservation Act 1992), as Vulnerable nationally (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) and are ranked as a High Priority under the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection ‘Back on Track’ species prioritisation framework. The Back on Track Actions for Biodiversity guidance document (DERM 2010) identifies habitat loss, fragmentation and the loss of nesting sites through fire as the key threats to red goshawk populations in South East Queensland (SEQ). Limited knowledge of the current breeding population of red goshawks in SEQ, however, makes it difficult to determine the extent and impact of these threats or to ensure that these threats are appropriately managed into the future. Research by Czechura et al. (2011) recommended that to better inform management actions the population of red goshawks in SEQ should be re-surveyed in 2011. Whilst this did not occur, this recommendation was a catalyst for surveys undertaken from late 2013 to mid-2014, supported by SEQ Catchments Ltd, Griffith University, the Department of Environment & Heritage Protection, Birds Queensland and BirdLife Southern Queensland. The purpose of these surveys were to:

1. Provide information on the current distribution and breeding status of red goshawks in SEQ; 2. Further inform habitat suitability mapping in SEQ; 3. Investigate the feasibility of initiating more in-depth ecological research on red goshawks in

SEQ; 4. Collate data on general raptor abundances suitable to investigate long-term population

trends; and 5. List other species of avifauna observed in the areas surveyed, particularly those considered

threatened. Priority areas for survey within SEQ were identified through:

draft habitat mapping undertaken by SEQ Catchments;

recorded sightings collated by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (in WildNet); and

discussion with species experts. This report outlines the results of red goshawk surveys undertaken in the SEQ Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region1 between December 2013 and May 2014.

METHODS

Surveys for red goshawks were undertaken over 60 days between 10 December 2013 and 2 May 2014. The surveys were timed to coincide with the fledgling and dispersal phase of the breeding

1 as opposed to the SEQ Bio Region


season (December to May). This period was considered the most conducive to maximising observations as it is the period when both adults of a pair and fledglings are active and roaming through the landscape. Further, fledglings regularly and loudly solicit for food once they leave the nest making them more conspicuous at this time. Broad survey areas were chosen based on a combination of habitat mapping undertaken by SEQ Catchments, expert advice and historical records in WildNet. Particular focus was given to areas where breeding activity had been recorded in the past 20 years or where confirmed sightings had been made within potentially suitable breeding habitat since 1990. These areas broadly included the following National or Forest Parks and adjacent private properties – Conondale National Park, D’Aguilar National Park, Lockyer State Forest, Main Range National Park and Lamington National Park (see Appendix One). Initially a combination of transect and point count survey techniques were employed within the broad survey area. However, point counts were quickly favoured as the views from transects were generally limited. Further, because vantage points were often very scarce, to maximise observation time surveys were usually undertaken from a single location for multiple days in a row. See Figure 1 below for an example of a typical survey site.

Figure 1. Typical survey site (Somerset Lookout, D’Aguilar National Park).

Nest sites were intensively searched for throughout each broad survey area by searching along roadsides and scanning all large emergent trees within view of point count sites with 10x binoculars. Red goshawks and other raptors were searched for by constantly scanning with the naked eye and with 10x binoculars. A 30–60x telescope was also used where required to verify the identity of a bird, as was a digital camera with a 600mm zoom telephoto lens. All individuals of raptor species observed were recorded each time they were independently observed along with the time, the location they were observed and the age and sex of each individual where it could be determined. Other bird species were recorded whether encountered during or while travelling between survey sites. However, to maximise the time spent searching for red goshawks other bird species were not actively searched for. Notes on the presence of suitable nest trees were made at each site and photographs taken to describe the broad habitat type.

RESULTS

In total 472 hours were spent actively searching for red goshawks between December and May 2014. All areas surveyed appeared to contain the large trees required for red goshawk nesting. Similarly, all of the areas surveyed comprised, on a broad scale, the mosaic of tall forest types described as suitable for red goshawk breeding. No red goshawks were observed during the survey period. Several raptor nests were observed, but only one appeared to have the potential to be the nest of a red goshawk (see Figure 3). However, the nest was inactive when located, thus further investigations are required to verify the species using the nest. Such investigations could include accessing the nest to retrieve feather samples for verification before the breeding season, the installation of a nest camera or further watches during the breeding season.

All other species of raptor that are present in SEQ (except the grey falcon) were seen either from the survey sites or while travelling between survey sites (Table 1). In total, 20 species of raptor were recorded during these surveys: Australian hobby, black falcon, black kite, black-shouldered kite, brahminy kite, brown falcon, brown goshawk, collared sparrowhawk, eastern osprey, grey goshawk, little eagle, nankeen kestrel, Pacific baza, peregrine falcon, spotted harrier, square-tailed kite, swamp harrier, wedge-tailed eagle, whistling kite and white-bellied sea-eagle. Detailed encounter data for raptors can be found in Appendix One. Together with historical datasets it is planned to use this information to investigate whether numbers of raptors have changed over time and to inform minimum survey effort for these species. Of the 169 species of bird observed during these surveys, five are listed as Vulnerable or Near Threatened under Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 2006 (Table 1). These include: glossy black-cockatoo (Vulnerable), powerful owl (Vulnerable), grey goshawk (Near Threatened), square-tailed kite (Near Threatened) and Albert’s lyrebird (Near Threatened). The Richmond birdwing butterfly

was the only NCA listed non-bird species observed (rising up to the Lost World Plateaux in Lamington National Park). Albert’s lyrebird and glossy black-cockatoo are also considered Near Threatened under the IUCN threat listing. No species listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 was observed during these surveys. Details of where each species was observed are included in Appendix Two. Table 1. Bird species observed in South East Queensland during red goshawk surveys between 9 December 2013 and 2 May 2014.

DISCUSSION

1. Could the results of these surveys indicate a decline in the red goshawk population in SEQ? If so, what are the causes and potential consequences in terms of landscape health implications and predator-prey interactions?

Due to the challenges of surveying for such a wide-ranging cryptic species it is difficult to reliably conclude a likely presence or confirm the absence of red goshawks in any one area. However, similar surveys undertaken in 2001 (Hobson 2001) over a similar time period successfully encountered red goshawks on six occasions and given the substantial survey effort here (472 hours), it is reasonable to expect that if red goshawks were present they would have been observed. This is especially the case when considering that all other raptor species that occur in SEQ were observed during these surveys (except the grey falcon). Although it is possible that red goshawks were missed by chance during the 2013–2014 survey, this is unlikely to be the sole potential explanation for why none should be observed at all and the absence of red goshawks from SEQ cannot be ruled out. The recently reported decline and possible extinction of red goshawks in New South Wales2 (Debus pers. comm.) coupled with a decline in observations being submitted to the Queensland Governments WildNet (Figure 4), suggests that the lack of observations in this survey should be carefully considered as they could potentially indicate an ongoing retraction of the species’ southerly range. This would not only be concerning in terms of red goshawk populations but also in terms of ecosystem health and function. Red goshawks require large areas of relatively high biodiversity to survive; losing them from an area would therefore indicate a decline in biodiversity and ecosystem health on a landscape scale. Further, the knock on effects incurred from the loss of this apex predator would likely effect predator-prey interactions throughout the food chain as ecosystems are forced to readjust to the loss of this regulating predator. Understanding how to manage red goshawks therefore has wider implications than just the conservation of the species, describing the species requirements and managing accordingly means maintaining biodiversity on a landscape, not just a local scale. This survey cannot address all the issues and likely scenarios explaining the lack of observations and as yet it cannot be concluded that red goshawks no longer breed in SEQ. However, when considered in the context of previous surveys, the established declines in NSW and the fall in reports over the last few decades, further discussion into what, if any, action should be taken is clearly worthwhile.

Recommendation: A meeting between species experts and stakeholders is recommended to discuss the results of these surveys more fully and determine what, if any, action is required to support red goshawk populations in SEQ.

2. How can further information on the red goshawk population in SEQ be obtained and how

might the collection of this information best be resourced? With so many active birdwatchers in SEQ, encouraging a concerted effort to search for red goshawks could well return further information that would shed more light on the red goshawk population in SEQ, especially if a consistent effort were maintained over a number of years. Nevertheless, there are two key limitations to relying on birdwatchers for such information:

1. People tend to look for birds in areas that are relatively easy to access but red goshawks generally breed within relatively remote areas.

2. Red goshawks can be very difficult to identify, not least because they are seldom seen so it is difficult to get a feel for the bird. Further, red goshawks are easily confused with a number of other different raptor species - especially when viewed at distance as is typically the case.


Recommendation: Birdwatchers in SEQ could be encouraged to regularly visit a series of relatively remote but easily accessible areas containing potentially suitable red goshawk habitat. Examples of suitable sites are provided in Table 2. Landholders in target areas could also be engaged to look for raptor nests and/or birds. However, before such surveys commence it is suggested that effort be put into education such that sightings can be more confidently relied upon. For example, a field guide to Australian raptors that concentrates on illustrating raptor species as they are seen in the field, including silhouettes of birds in flight, at different angles, and in poor light could significantly improve the identification skills of the birdwatching community in SEQ (and further afield). Producing such a field guide would provide people with access to the kind of knowledge that is currently only available to people that have spent years in the field studying raptors, improving the usefulness of sightings from the birdwatching community and thus the application of citizen science to the investigation of red goshawk population trends. The active promotion of ‘living’ distribution maps of red goshawk observations in SEQ is also recommended to harness citizen science, but warrants wider discussion.

3. Are there any information gaps that hinder our ability to successfully ensure the maintenance

of red goshawk populations in SEQ and how might these be filled? The national recovery plan for red goshawks (DERM 2012) outlines a number of recovery objectives, performance criteria and actions, the overall objective of which is to: “maintain populations of red goshawk across their range and implement measures to promote recovery of the species”. Priority actions include the identification of key habitats and determining the effects of habitat fragmentation. This information seems particularly relevant to SEQ where it is not clear whether minimum habitat requirements are still being met for this species. Draft habitat mapping by SEQ Catchments based on expert knowledge of the species, indicates that sufficient areas of remnant vegetation remain in the region, however, how red goshawks use the landscape and what elements are required for their survival remains largely unknown.

Recommendation: A research project for red goshawks be developed that includes the gathering of further information on the status of red goshawks in SEQ and an investigation into the detailed habitat use of red goshawks throughout their current range. The information from elsewhere in their range could then be used to assess whether minimum requirements are being met at the landscape scale in SEQ and identify necessary management actions for the long-term persistence of the species.
