Debus, Stephen JS

2007

This paper continues the theme of Debus (2007), by reporting on the bird communities of bushland remnants in the Gold Coast hinterland, another rapidly urbanising area in south east Queensland. There is one previous inventory of the birds of a site in the northern Gold Coast hinterland (Dawson et al. 1991), and a study of the ecology of urban bushland birds provided a partial inventory of the birds at several sites also in the northern Gold Coast hinterland (Sewell & Catterall 1998). This study is a "snapshot" inventory of the birds of various bushland locations around the Gold Coast, resulting from bird surveys conducted as part of environmental assessments for development proposals. It similarly presents a baseline for future surveys, which might test the persistence of certain species, or any predictions about impacts or any mitigation proposals made in the environmental assessment.
