Well having surveyed the yarralumla ck corridor since 1993 ww trillers have called and displayed there during 25 springs. Best breeding success was dependent young in 2007. Generally breeding occurs along yarralumla ck in dry years when more invertebrates are
available in relatively damper and productive valleys than on the drier ridges and hills. Unfortunately we have few lowland native grasslands preserved with the majority of our local nature parks situated on exposed hills and ridges. Habitat along yarralumla
creek clearly could be improved however current development proposals include access roads following creek and units along Adelaide avenue.

There are at least two males calling along the Dickson tributary of Sullivans Creek, just N of wetland. They have been audible for about a week, and the species is in the vicinity most summers now.

There are a lot of WWTs around at the moment. Not just in the usual places like Campbell Park.
I heard two or three calling this morning from the poplars between Yamba Drive and Curtin, on the east side of Yarralumla Creek. And I saw one.
I can’t think that they would ever succeed in breeding there, I’m sure the poplars and mown parkland grass doesn’t have enough insects for them.
