The Tuggeranong Hill survey was conducted on Wednesday 23 June. It was an overcast, cool and still morning. It was very
quiet, with just 14 species within survey sites, and that included a small mixed feeding flock which was heard in the outer circle. The only highlight of the morning was a
Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, seen between sites. There was a bit of excitement when the surveyor was threatened by a dog, just inside the gate by the Theodore Substation. Fortunately, it desisted and left the area when she bent down to pick up a weapon,
because none were within easy reach! The total tally of species for the day was 29.
