Steve Holliday and Dave Cook did the surveys at this new woodland site in the southern half of the new Gooroo reserve, on a cold and increasingly windy morning. They reported plenty of small bird activity, with over 30 species seen or heard. Highlights were one Brown Treecreeper at the usual location at the southern end of the reserve (this seems to be the sole surviving Brown Treecreeper in the whole of the 1500 odd hectares at Mulligan's Flat/Gooroo Reserves!), male Flame Robin, Speckled Warbler and Southern Whiteface all at the BTC site, (site 1), Varied Sittellas in the woodland near the car park off Horse Park Drive, Yellow Thornbill (first time since we started the surveys) and a Brown Goshawk. Thank you Steve and Dave.
