5.0 Ryde Fauna Biosphere Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd Ryde Flora and Fauna Survey 2007 37 The following tables of fauna are the combined findings of the quadrat and opportunistic surveys. The quadrat data only is tabulated in Appendix 4. 5.1 Terrys Creek Catchment Reserves Mammals: Native terrestrial mammals were not commonly encountered in any of the reserves with usually only one or two species present in each reserve. The most common mammals detected were Brush-tailed Possums, Ring-tailed Possums and Grey-headed Flying Foxes. The ground fauna was dominated by exotic mammals, such as black rats, cats, dogs and foxes (Table 8).

Pembroke, Anabat Only detected in Lucknow, Somerset summer survey Fifty six species of day birds and three species of night birds were found in the reserves along Terrys Creek (Table 9). Many of the birds found were those commonly found in open woodland; ground-nesting or ground-frequenting birds were conspicuously absent. It is assumed that their absence is due to the high number of exotic predators in the park. The majority of birds present were either insect-eating or nectar-feeding birds. About ten species of summer migrants were detected in the Terrys Creek Reserves, suggesting that this area may be of strategic importance for birds undertaking flights across the Sydney basin.
