That's odd, I didn't notice any on either the Nursery Swamp track or up in
the Brindabellas either.

Subject: the aftermath of the blitz
I agree with Phillip about the lack of superb fairy-wrens. I only saw 6 all
weekend - one group of three and three singles. Usually at Causarina Sands
and along the Molonglo (near the RSPCA) there is another group every 100
metres or so.
