of young birds
7.3.1   Review camera-trap photos to detect young birds and analyse age classes to quantify recruitment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Given the high reproductive output of Malleefowl, few Malleefowl chicks are expected to survive.  Understanding the conditions under which they do survive may lead to important insights and improved management.
