Birds included in this list have been identified from research papers, former Friends member Robert Audcent or in the eBird Hotspot directory. Names of birds are consistent with The Compact Australian Bird Guide, Jeff Davies et al 2022.
Unless advised otherwise by local Noongar language teacher Dylan Collard (Kalyakoorl), Noongar bird names are the Noongar LOTE name from Dandjoo Moordyap Dabarkan Noongar Language Project. (2014). Djerap: Noongar birds. Batchelor Press, Batchelor, NT.
The likelihood of sighting each bird is listed next to the common name using the following key:
- A: Resident, seen on most visits
- B: Common, likely to be seen
- C: Seasonal, seen only in the appropriate season
- D: Uncommon, rarely seen
- E: Rare, probably seen once or twice in the bushland, or flying over
This table appears in part as Appendix 8 in Jirdarup Bushland and the Friends who care for it. The 53 most common appear in our book Birds of Jirdarup. As new information is sourced, it will be added to the list. Records on e-bird are added only if they are confirmed by a second source.
