Animals of Kojonup

The Wandoo woodland has only scattered remnants are left.  Kojonup reserve provides unique and very specialised habitat.  Eucalyptus wandoo develops hollows, providing important habitat for many birds and mammals.  Says zoologist Jan Henry, "Large, mature trees are like apartment blocks for fauna ... No other species of woodland Eucalypt appears to be used to the same extent."

Kojonup reserve is potential habitat for 80 species of native birds, including 3 rare species.  More than 40 of these have already been observed, including parrot, cuckoo, thornbill, robin and honeyeater species, as well as the Splendid Fairy-wren, Rufous Treecreeper, Sacred Kingfisher and Rainbow Bee-eater.  Seasonally wet sites form pools on the block which attract water birds and frogs.

Zoologists expect to find several bat species, the Common brush tail possum and Western pygmy-possum, Western brush wallaby, Western grey kangaroo and Short-beaked echidna.  Numbats are usually associated with wandoo woodlands and numbat hair was found in hollow logs on the property.
