Yard bird lists

[Anthony Overs <>]

Hi Tonya

I think Richard Allen in Curtin holds the record with something like 130+.

My list in Hackett was over 80 in four years. My Scullin list was a modest 60 or so in nine years. I'm up to 41 in Hawker in under three months.

A Garden Bird Survey chart is the easiest way to keep track of what you have!

Cheers
Anthony

Hi all,

Just curious if anyone has tallies of yard birds for suburbs around Canberra?  I just moved to O'Connor from Aranda, and I'm curious what other people have as typical and high-number bird lists for their yards in town.  A tawny frogmouth in the front yard yesterday brought us up to 35 species since December.

Cheers,

Tonya

Earlier this evening while working in the kitchen I heard a 'different' noise outside.  Grabbing the spotlight kept at the back door for such occasions I illuminated the culprit.  Mutual surprise certainly but probably not mutual delight, an Australian Owlet Nightjar and I exchanged 'looks'.

First record for our GBS but given the proximity of Black Mountain and O'Connor ridge probably not too far from usual habitat.
