Knocklofty Reserve – Fauna

A range of fauna have been identified, ranging through birds, frogs, reptiles, and marsupials. Over the past twenty-eight years, the presence of these fauna have been detected by:

  • bird watching and listening with experts from Birds of Australia;
  • scats, foot prints, diggings and trapping of marsupials with a wild life vet
  • listening to frog calls, catching tadpoles and frogs
  • looking for and identifiying reptiles

Actions such as plantings, pond restorations, and weed removal have helped to improve the habitat of these fauna and encourage numbers and varieties to prosper on the reserve .
