Mt Ainslie winter 25 woodland survey

["Michael Lenz via Canberrabirds " <>]

The winter survey of the 9 sites on the lower eastern slopes of Mt Ainslie was carried out by Michael Lenz on 21 June, a calm and mostly overcast morning (after severe frost overnight). Overall bird numbers were low, small birds were largely absent. The most widespread species were Australian Raven and Noisy Miner (each at 5 sites), Australian King Parrot and Crimson Rosella (4) and Spotted Pardalote (3). Of note was a flock of 28 Australian King Parrot and a Wedge-tailed Eagle. Only a very small mixed feeding flock (4 species) was encountered, including 2 Grey Fantails. Four pairs of Wood Ducks were inspecting potential nest hollows. In total 22 species were recorded, 17 at sites, an additional 5 between sites.
