Sep 15, 2004 / Campbell Island (*w) / Campbell Island teal
Number and percentage of survival is five months after release, and includes all 50 birds released (captive & wild reared). 1 year data also includes all birds released, and counts only conspicuous individuals (mostly male) seen when releasing more birds in 2005. Many more are expected to have survived. 1 adult found in 2006 is suspected to be the offspring of the 2004 release (of either wild or captive-reared birds). Wild caught birds had similar pre-release treatment as captive birds (such as acclimatization to the transfer crates and transmitters)
