Varied Sittella
Daphoenositta chrysoptera
ABR description
The following is extracted from the Annual Bird Report for the twelve months to June 2017.
Uncommon, breeding resident
A species thinly spread in COG’s area, usually in dry woodland. Declared vulnerable in the ACT and NSW.
General: The reporting rate this year is the lowest on record, continuing its 4 decade-long decline from 8% in 1989 to its present value of 1.4%. Despite the low reporting rate, high observer effort recorded 998 birds, similar to last year (1,043) though many more than the 10YA (379) and the 30YA (254). Recorded in every month, with more records in spring (38%) than in summer (18%), autumn (21%) and winter (24%). Reporting rate (1.4%) lower than last year (2.1%) and the 10YA (2.2%), and much lower than the 30YA (3.1%). Recorded from 14% of grid cells (13% last year), about the same as the 10YA (12%) and the 30YA (14%). Max 25 (16 last year), mean 5.1, median 4. 7 breeding records (10 last year): first on/26 Oct Kama NR I13 (DaC2) and last dy/15 Feb MFNR (DaC2).
GBS: Only 27 birds recorded compared with 135 last year, fewer than the 10YA (47) and the 30YA (67). 10 records, 8 of which from one site at Wamboin GrQ12 (CoK2), in Aug-Oct & Dec. No breeding records (none last year; recorded in only 7 years of the GBS).
Abundance
Abundance is the average number of birds of that species per survey. Where the species was observed (presence recorded) but the number of birds seen was not recorded, this is treated as a count of zero.

Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Varied Sittella for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Varied Sittella have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number F5.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Varied Sittella was 100.0% (eg grid number F5) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number K15). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Varied Sittella for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Varied Sittella have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number P30.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Varied Sittella was 100.0% (eg grid number P30) and the minimum was 0.0% (eg grid number L14).
