Mt Majura woodland surveys were conducted on 15 June (5 sites) in beautiful weather and 4 sites today in not so beautiful weather! The bulk of the sites on the 15th produced excellent mixed flocks – perhaps the best day surveying we’ve had there. One mixed flock had 22 species including: around 50 Striated Pardalote, 20 Spotted Pardalote, Silvereyes, Speckled Warbler, Buff and Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Superb Fairy-wrens, Golden Whistler, Grey Shrike-thrush, Scarlet Robin and Grey Fantail. A Rose Robin and five different honeyeaters, including Fuscous, White-naped and Brown-headed, made up part of another mixed flock. Of interest, a Brown Goshawk and Hobby were seen in separate sites. Unfortunately, two foxes were also seen in one of the Brittle Gum sites.
