The avifauna of this IBA is now well known, with several collecting trips prior to the mid-1970s and more than ten visits by Michael Mills between 2005 and the present. All data prior to 2010 is summarised by Mills et al. (2011) and forms the basis for this list, with additional species since then reported with the observer and date.
