Hi Stuart
There's a voluminous literature on this topic! A good starting point might be:
* Bibby, C.J. et al. (1992). Bird Census Techniques. (Academic Press:
London). ISBN 0-12-095830-9
It's British, but don't hold that against it, and quite readable. I know the
State Library (city) has a copy. The Birds Australia library may do too.

That's more complex. Firstly you need a permit (and before that the experience
to get one) to trap/release small mammals. You can't really do a comprehensive
survey without trapping (live of course - not snap traps!!). Maybe an already
licenced group could help you there. Feel free to ask more questions.
