Mt Majura surveys were completed over a couple of warm sunny days. 30 species recorded over all. Relatively few small birds seen, but good numbers of parrots. Highlights included 1 Superb Parrot seen in two sites (the same bird). The Superb
was feeding on Yellow Box flowers along with both species of Rosella. A recently fledged Mistletoe bird was seen hiding in an Exocarpus constantly begging. Leaden Flycatcher was heard and 3 Speckled Warblers found at one site. A Kookaburra in a nest hollow
was of interest, with another seen carrying food not far away. Of interest were lots of Noisy Friarbirds just outside of a survey area, hanging round Mistletoe that only seemed to have buds on it (no actual flowers) and in the Exocarpus were they seemed
to be feeding on berries. Lots of forbs flowering, with good numbers of Common Brown butterflies. Disappointingly we found a Rock Dove (pure white) at one of the sites, which is probably a first for these sites.
