5.3 Kittys Creek Reserves Mammals: Biosphere Environmental Consultants Pty Ltd Ryde Flora and Fauna Survey 2007 48 Like many reserves that are surrounded by houses, rats and mice dominated the ground mammal fauna. No native ground ammals were found, and possums were scarce. Cats and dogs roam the reserves from the nearby houses.

Goulds Wattled Chalinolobus Portius, Kittys Anabat Bats detected in Bat gouldii Creek Reserve both spring and summer * denotes exotic or feral species Birds: Forty six species of day birds and one species of night birds were found in the reserves along Kittys Creek (Table 21). The low numbers of birds found reflects the narrowness of the reserves and the large impacts that the houses and pets animals have on the reserve. Some reserves, especially Portius Reserve, still retain relatively intact vegetation communities and continuous tree canopies, but the understorey and ground cover is too easily hunted through by feral predators.
