The winter woodland survey at the 9 sites  on the lower eastern slopes of Mt Ainslie was carried out by Michael Lenz on Monday, 21. June. It was a pleasant morning with a blue sky and light wind. In the course of the morning clouds closed in. 37 species were recorded in total, of those 22 were found at sites. The most widespread species were: Spotted Pardalotes (9 sites), Striated Pardalote, Weebil and Noisy Miner (at 7 sites each), Crimson Rosella (at 6 sites). 
Species of Interest: small numbers of  White-naped and Brown Headed Honeyeaters at a few clusters of eucalypt flowers, Speckled Warbler (group of 3), and Wedge-tailed Eagle. Overall small birds were more common than during the autumn survey.
Three pairs of Wood Ducks and a Galah were inspecting nest hollows.
