BANN was formed in 1987 following a campout by RAOU members at Dorrigo the previous year. Members of Birds Australia who are residents of the area of coverage are automatically members of the group. A quarterly newsletter is sent to members. Activities provided for members include meetings, a variety of field trips, bird surveys, and conservation projects. '''Birds Australia Western Australia''' (BAWA) is the [[Western Australian]] regional group of Birds Australia. BAWA was formed in 1943 and incorporated in 2001. Members of Birds Australia resident in Western Australia are automatically members of BAWA. BAWA maintains an office, Peregrine House, at [[Floreat]], [[Perth, Western Australia\|Perth]]. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter, ''WA Bird Notes''. Activities provided for members include monthly meetings, a variety of excursions ranging from half-day outings to extensive campouts, bird surveys and conservation projects. === Wader Studies Group === The Australasian Wader Studies Group (AWSG), established in 1981, is a special interest group of BirdLife Australia. It publishes a journal, ''[[Stilt (journal)\|The Stilt]]'', usually twice a year, with occasional extra issues. Its mission statement is "to ensure the future of [[wader]]s (shorebirds) and their habitats in Australia through research and conservation programs and to encourage and assist similar programmes in the rest of the [[East Asian–Australasian Flyway]]". The AWSG organises the nearly annual series of North-West Australia Wader Expeditions, which use experienced international [[cannon netting]] teams to catch and study the very large numbers of migratory waders that visit the beaches of [[Roebuck Bay]] near [[Broome, Western Australia\|Broome]], [[Eighty Mile Beach]] and [[Port Hedland, Western Australia\|Port Hedland]] in north-west [[Western Australia]]. ====AWSG Objectives==== * To monitor wader populations through a programme of counting and banding in order to collect data on changes on a local, national and international basis. * To study the migrations of waders through a program of counting, banding, colour-flagging and collection of biometric data. * To instigate and encourage other scientific studies of waders such as feeding and breeding studies. * To communicate the results of these studies to a wide audience through the ''[[Stilt (journal)\|Stilt]]'', the ''[[Tattler (newsletter)\|Tattler]]'', other journals, the internet, the media, conferences and lectures. * To formulate and promote policies for the conservation of waders and their habitat, and to make available information to local and national governmental conservation bodies and other organisations to encourage and assist them in pursuing this objective. * To encourage and promote the involvement of a large band of amateurs, as well as professionals, to achieve these objectives. ==Awards== The organisation awards a number of regular prizes. The [[Stuart Leslie Bird Research Award]] and the [[Professor Alan Keast Award]] are bestowed annually to postgraduate students of ornithology, with an emphasis on conservation applications. The Indigenous Grant for Bird Research and Conservation acknowledges the contribution of Indigenous Australians by facilitating their further engagement in research and conservation.<ref name="BL_award">{{cite web \|title=Awards & Scholarships \|url=https://www.birdlife.org.au/who-we-are/our-organisation/awards-scholarships \|website=BirdLife Australia \|access-date=4 May 2022 \|archive-date=4 May 2022 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220504075258/https://www.birdlife.org.au/who-we-are/our-organisation/awards-scholarships \|url-status=live }}</ref> The [[D.L.
