This is interesting because I have also noticed a similar increase in
Willie Wagtail numbers in my home area at Hurstville in suburban Sydney.
There has also been a noticeable increase in peewee numbers as well.
Perhaps it is just a coincidence but I perceive that there are less cats
around now than when I moved here 16 years ago. Unfortunately, superb
fairywren numbers have crashed during that period and have not
recovered.
