The Kimberley Nature Park Society
has designed three bird survey routes that will allow us to monitor fluctuations
in bird populations over time. Experienced birders who can identify birds
by their songs and call notes walk the routes in the early morning during the
breeding season and spend 3 minutes at each of 58 locations listening for
birds. The survey was carried out in 2001 and again in 2008.
The results are available below along with a chart comparing species
totals. Record keeping has improved since 2001 so the 2008 survey has more
detailed information. Click on the thumbnails below to see expandable .pdf
versions of the results.
