In 2020, Lockyer Uplands Catchments Incorporated (LUCI) started a project to survey birds on properties of its members living in the upper (western) part of the Lockyer Creek catchment, South-East Queensland. The project aligned with LUCI’s strategic vision “to improve native
habitat connectivity across private and public tenures in our local landscape” and LUCI’s three objectives: raising awareness of natural systems; encouraging better land management options; and improving environmental outcomes.
Surveys were carried out by Birdlife Southern Queensland Darling Downs Branch together with the Toowoomba Bird Observers Club. This is a report on the project after the survey activities from 2021 to 2023
