Biosphere Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd Ryde Flora and Fauna Survey 2007 46 Columbra livia Feral Pigeon * Streptopelia chinensis Spotted Turtle-dove * * * Reptiles: Six lizard species and two snakes were found in the Buffalo Creek reserves (Table 17). The majority of lizards are small, ant-eating species that can hide quickly in short grass or under fallen branches. Larger lizards, such as Water Dragons, were relatively scarce.

The Striped Marsh Frog and Common Eastern Froglet were abundant in the shallow margins of the creek.

This exotic fish is able to tolerate poor water quality, where many native species cannot. Invertebrates: Darvall Park contained a reasonably high variety of invertebrate animals (Table 18). Insects were the most prolific with 14 major taxa being found. Most of the insects were leaf-eating or sap-sucking insects that exploit the mature eucalypt trees in the park. Spiders, slugs, snails and earthworms are also relatively common in the park.
