This nocturnal marsupial and bird focused count data package comprises transect-based spotlighting surveys conducted every one to two years along a 100 m-long transect at each site. The abundance of species observed or heard is recorded, and counts are not undertaken in poor weather (rain, fog, or high wind). Each site is spotlit for 20 minutes per 100 m transect. Spotlight surveys commenced in 2003, were conducted annually until 2007, and have been continued biennially since. Opportunistic records of the presence of amphibians, reptiles, other mammals, and a crustacean are included. The Jervis Bay Plot Network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in the Jervis Bay Territory, south-eastern Australia. The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades. The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response. This particular study forms part of the collection of data packages from the Jervis Bay Plot Network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park.
