Fauna List for Ku-ring-gai Flying-fox Reserve, Gordon

This list was initially compiled by Gordon Limburg in 1993, including information from Martyn Robinson and a bird list provided by Win Filewood in 1989. A small mammal survey with live traps was conducted for four nights in January 1989 by Ray and Anne Williams of the Royal Zoological Society of NSW. Additional observations contributed by Madeleine Schofield, Nancy Pallin, Marjorie Beck, Jocelyn Chenu and other bush regenerators have been added since. * non-native species
