About 50 Fairy Martins are nesting in a culvert under the Cullen
Bullen-Portland road just west of Cullen Bullen which is about 25km north of
Lithgow.
A male House Sparrow is trying to evict Fairy Martins from one of their
half-completed nests under our eaves in Mulgoa Valley, possibly killing one
found dead under the nests.Once completed, the orifice into the nest will be
too small to admit sparrows.

                          Mulgoa Valley 2745, (on the western edge of the
Cumberland Plain.)
