No 3 Field Nats Fauna Survey The Field Naturalists Club of Victoria and the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater conducted a fauna survey at Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve (YNCR) from 13 th – 15 th July 2007. Despite the cool, drizzly weather 25 people attended and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Nineteen animals were trapped, identified, sexed, weighed and released over the weekend. The species trapped were Dusky Antechinus, Agile Antechinus, Bush Rat and House Mouse. This information will be included in the Atlas of Victorian Wildlife database. Twenty eight species of bird were identified during day and evening walks as well as two frog species, Brush Tail Possums, Sugar Gliders and Swamp Wallabies. The Field Naturalists are keen to return to conduct a bat survey and possibly a reptile survey. The information from these surveys increases our understanding of the species diversity and habitat within YNCR which assists with future management plans. If you are interested in participating in future surveys please contact our Coordinators, Bruce or Sue, on 5964-8341 to register your interest.
