Lia Battisson surveyed Tuggeranong Hill on Monday 29 March. It was very quiet, with the most productive sub-site producing only 8 species. There was evidence
of the honeyeater migration, with flocks of up to 20 flying through after 9am. Just a few
White-naped Honeyeaters accompanied the Yellow-faced Honeyeaters. It was nice to see water flowing in several of the gullies. No mixed feeding flocks were encountered. The most exciting things that occurred were flushing a
Common Bronzewing and hearing an Australian Raven making a noise that sounded like a cough!
In all, 16 species were observed in Sub-sites, and a further 16 in between. Total species number is down a little on the average autumn count for Tuggeranong
Hill.
