The lower slopes on the E side of Mt Ainslie were surveyed on 25 June 17. The morning was crisp but fine, with only light wind. Species numbers ranged from 0 to 8 at the 9 sites, with an average of 4.9 species. Small bush birds were absent or present in only small numbers at most of the sites. A MFF was encountered between sites consisting of 6 species, and a smaller one of 4 species at the last site. Both MFF included Speckled Warbler (1 and 2 birds respectively). Of interest: Common Bronzewing was recorded at 2 sites and later 8 birds flew into the woodland from the eastern paddocks. One Mistletoebird was heard and a group of 6 Brown-headed Honeyeaters was present. The only other honeyeaters were Noisy Miners (at 7 sites). The species total at sites was 21 and a further 9 between sites.
