 The Yellow Thornbill is rare in suburban areas. It feeds in dense stands
of wattles and other shrubs bordering open country and river edges and
is the least conspicuous of the local thornbills. It is often only distinguished
by its call and can be overlooked or mistaken for Weebills or Striated
Thornbills. It typically appears only on the charts of more experienced
observers and mostly at sites bordering or close to Canberra Nature Park.
Numbers are lowest in October and November, climbing to a peak in June.
Numbers have varied considerably over the survey period, with higher
numbers recorded in 1984-88 and 1994-5, with none in 1982 and very few
in the other years of the survey. R=94. BR=79.
