Mt Majura Woodland Survey

[Peter Miller <>]

The Sept survey on the western slope of Mt Majura was conducted this morning (Sept 24). While the weather was pleasant, the birds were not plentiful; two separate breeding attempts of Noisy Miners (one nest with fledglings, one building nest) were recorded at sites 2 and 9 at opposite ends of of the survey range (north and south respectively) is perhaps partially causal. Noisy miners were certainly observed harassing crimson rosellas, pardolote sp?, and a raven.

Small resident woodland birds seen included Brown Thornbills, Buff-Rumped Thornbills, Grey Fantails, and Weebills.  Two small flocks of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters were observed using sites as they moved south. A total of 19 species were seen/heard at the nine sites.

Outside survey sites Olive-backed Orioles (2), Common Bronzewing, and White-throated Treecreepers were also observed.
