Vanishing House Sparrow wrap-up

And then you get an Enviromental Goverment Minister looking at the Sat. pics 
and saying there is to much illegal land clearing going on. Then sombody 
reminded him that we are in a hundred year drought!!!!!  Seriously though, 
in the forests around Orange there has been a large decline in Kangaroo, 
possum and even wild pig numbers. So we can assume that the drought has has 
a large effect by both breeding and distribution on the less plentiful 
and/or hardier breeds of birds. Travelling to Dubbo or Parkes there is well 
below average numers of wildlife including birds.
