Appendix 7: Species and status listed

For the purposes of this report, species have been referred to using their common or colloquial name and
taxonomy as prescribed by the IOC World Bird List (version 10.1, February 2020) - an open access
resource of the international community of ornithologists (www.worldbirdnames.org). It is noted,
classifications adopted by the IOC may differ slightly from other primary lists (e.g. Clements, Howard &
Moore, Bird Life) due to differences in primary goals and / or taxonomic philosophy. Table 11 below details
the current conservation status of all species observed in the Noosa River over the survey period on an
international (IUCN 33), national (EPBC 34) and state (NCA 35) basis.

   At the commencement of the survey in 2005, the Red-Necked Avocet was incorporated into the survey database within the sub-group of wading
birds per then accepted practice. The single sighting of the Red-Necked Avocet is hence included in the wading bird sub-group for this analysis.
