This has also been the case in my local area in Chapman/Rivett, where Red 
Wattlebird numbers also seem to have been lower than usual over the past month, 
certainly so in my GBS site.

More importantly after the early start and build up of fledgling reports these 
have dropped to a trickle, with only 7 coming to my attention since the 
beginning of February.  Places where there were up to 8 fledglings reported 
close together in 2018-2019 such as in Narrabundah and Fraser have so far  only 
observed a single fledgling this season.  My total of 57 is also well below the 
86 in the previous two seasons.

So if you have had any observations of fledglings and have not yet brought them 
to my attention I would be very grateful for some details such as data and 
place, how mobile it was (ie easy to see or hidden in the shrubbery), the 
length of its tail and if possible its host (expected to be the Rad Wattlebird).
