The survey was carried out on Monday (15 June) on a calm morning with largely overcast sky and no frost.

A total of 31 species were recorded at the sites with an additional 3 between sites. Seven of the sites were very quiet with as few as 3 species, mostly missing small birds. Two MFFs were encountered at sites, one including 15 species. Noisy Miners harassed King Parrots and Rosellas at several sites.

Noisy Miner (6 sites), Weebill (5 sites), Crimson Rosella and Spotted Pardalote (4 sites each) were the most widespread species. 

Species of interest: Brown Goshawk (at 2 sites), Brown-headed Honeyeater (flock of 9), Speckled Warbler (2 x 2), Western Gerygone (1 in MFF), Misteltoebird (1 male).
