Subject: Woodland Survey – Autumn 2022 – Tuggeranong Hill
Lia Battisson surveyed Tuggeranong Hill over two days, Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 March, as time permitted. It was very quiet, with the most productive sub-sites
producing only 6 species each. There was a little evidence of the honeyeater migration, with one flock of 25
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters flying through at 8:40 and single birds in a couple of sites. The morning was saved by a very small mixed feeding flock at sub-site 1, comprising
Silvereyes, Grey Fantails, Weebills and a Rufous Whistler. It was nice to see two
Speckled Warblers at sub-site 6.
In all, 16 species were observed in sub-sites, and a further 5 in between, although not much time was devoted to observing between sites. Total species number
is well down on the average autumn count for Tuggeranong Hill.
