About the event
Can you help with Coast Counts 2025?
Another new TIP season has started!
Target dates for 2025 counts are November 14, 15, and 16. If those days are unsuitable for you, it’s fine to substitute any nearby dates.
It’s most valuable if you repeat your count on 2 or 3 successive days, and if possible repeat your count in mid-December and mid-January. If you counted the same site previously, please try to count near the same day of the month each time.
This citizen science project is gathering long-term data about Torresian Imperial Pigeons (TIPs) in Queensland. These birds, also known as Pied imperial pigeons (PIPs) or Torres Strait Pigeons (TSPs), have a hugely important ecological role in dispersing seeds of our native forest fruits.
