This dataset contains bird occurrence data collected at the Karawatha Peri-urban site in 2007, 2012 and 2015

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Purpose
Bird surveys were conducted to to provide a description of the bird community, including its richness and composition, and having established a baseline description to monitor the dynamics and phenology of the community over time.

Lineage
Bird surveys at the Karawatha Peri-urban site were conducted by walking a 250 m x 40 m plot with sight and aural detections included. Counts lasted a total of 20 minutes. Replicated surveys of plots throughout the site were made on three separate occasions during the sample period. All surveys were conducted during the early morning beginning 30 minutes after sunrise continuing through for 3-4 hours. Surveys were not undertaken in periods of rain, high wind or high cloud cover. All birds viewed flying directly above the canopy were not included as present within the forest.
