The 9 sites on the eastern lower slopes of Mt Ainslie were surveyed by Michael Lenz on 2 October 24. It was overcast first, and later cleared partially, wind was light to moderate. Overall bird activity was lower compared to a walk I did in
early September. The three most widespread species were Crimson Rosella (recorded at 7 sites) and
Noisy Miner and Galah (each at 6 sites). Spring arrivals included
Shining Bronze-Cuckoo, White-throated Gerygone, Rufous Whistler,
Noisy Friarbird, Olive-backed Oriole and several Mistletoebirds (although I could not see any fruit in the mistletoes).
Of note 1 Superb Parrot and 1 Speckled Warbler. One group of
White-winged Choughs had 2 young in a nest, young Australian Ravens were heard begging from a nest, and young
Noisy Miners could be heard throughout the area.
