The Birds of Sandy Creek Conservation Park

Abstract

The results of 71 visits to Sandy Creek Conservation Park over a ten year period- October 26, 1962, to October 25, 1972, are set out. The location, soils, topography and rainfall of the Park are briefly described. The vegetation is described in some detail and an outline of the history of the area since 1962 is given together with descriptions of some of the more notable bird concentrations over the period. A total of 108 native and 7 introduced species have been recorded and their occurrences, numbers and habits are set out under each individual species.
