Abstract
On a remote sandstone outcrop within the Royal National Park, New South Wales, numerous instances were documented involving the aggregation of Brown Tree Snakes Boiga irregularis. Over the period from 2018 to 2023, a total of 8 visits to the site were logged, revealing 3 observed aggregations. Notably, the occurrences of these aggregations appeared to be influenced by seasonality, with each observation being made during late autumn or winter. The peak aggregation count documented involved six adult snakes.

期刊介绍:
The Royal Zoological Society publishes a fully refereed scientific journal, Australian Zoologist, specialising in topics relevant to Australian zoology. The Australian Zoologist was first published by the Society in 1914, making it the oldest Australian journal specialising in zoological topics. The scope of the journal has increased substantially in the last 20 years, and it now attracts papers on a wide variety of zoological, ecological and environmentally related topics. The RZS also publishes, as books, and the outcome of forums, which are run annually by the Society.
