The plots are at 500 m intervals in a grid that covers the entire Park. Each plot follows the elevational contour and is 250 m long x 40 m wide. Three repeat surveys were completed during the period May 2012 to August 2012.

Sampling occurred by walking a 250 m x 40 m plot with sight and aural detections included. Counts lasted a total of 20 minutes. Replicated surveys of plots throughout Karawatha Forest Park were made on three separate occasions during the sample period.All surveys were conducted during the early morning beginning 30 minutes after sunrise continuing through for 3-4 hours. Surveys were not undertaken in periods of rain, high wind or high cloud cover. All birds viewed flying directly above the canopy was not included as present within the forest. Aerial sallying insectivores flying at a height less than 20 meters above the canopy layer were included.
