Red Hill Woodland Survey

Sunday 27 March 2011

Harvey Perkins & Stuart Harris

 

A lovely autumn morning produced a fairly typical result, with overall numbers of birds and diversity pretty much spot on average for Red Hill for this time of year. There was an abundance of Grey Fantails and dispersed small flocks of mixed pardalotes were common, with Spotted and Striated in roughly equal proportions as far as we could tell - most of them young ones. Golden and Rufous Whistlers were also evident, though mostly between sites and all either female or young birds. No evidence of any concerted honeyeater migration, but a single White-eared Honeyeater and three individual Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were recorded. A single female Scarlet Robin was a highlight, as was the boobook that flushed from site 4 - it's just over ten years since a boobook (could it be the same one?) flushed from an exocarpus roost at that site.
