Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve bird survey
9 November 2024
Fifteen observers made an early start, at 7 am, on a cool, fine morning with a slight breeze. The sun was low and bright, gradually raising the temperature from 11 to 16 C.
We recorded 410 birds, of which 14% were feral or pest birds. As in October, we noted a total of 33 species, but 5 species recorded this November were pest birds, albeit in small numbers. Wetland birds comprised 15 species and terrestrial birds 13 species.
