Small Birds of Manly Dam
Manly Dam comprises a range of different vegetation communities. Plant communities such as the Sandstone heathland and Sandstone swamp provide the most cover and food for small birds and thus, are where most of these tiny birds nest and feed. These communities are commonly found on the ridge tops. Smaller bird species are less abundant but still occur in areas where larger plant communities such as Peppermint Angophora communities are present. Small birds will commonly be found in the understory vegetation in these communities, especially in shaded areas or gullies near water.
