The Mt Majura Woodland surveys were conducted on 19, 20 and 25 Sept. Luckily we live in the same general area as our survey sites and were not affected by COVID restrictions. Very wet underfoot at about half the sites and we wished we had
worn rubber boots! Lots of Yellowbox flowering at most sites. Around 30 species seen in total over the 9 sites. Unfortunately only one site had any small birds with Yellow-rumped Thornbill, Grey Fantail, Misletoebird and Weebills. No Speckled Warblers to be
seen at either of our regular sites. Hopefully they were just keeping a low profile and not gone altogether. Many Red Wattlebirds, Noisy Friarbirds and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters seen at a number of sites.
