g'day all,
 
1
Rory Poulter of the BA Atlassing team has previously commented about the high number frequency of reports that include the ubiquitous Willy Wagtail.
 
They are in "swarms" in many areas that I visit..
And the numbers seem to be increasing and the range expanding !
And of course they are very aggressive to most other species.
 
Could there be a possibility that they may be displacing other species ?
2
Has the expansion of range of the introduced House Sparrow displaced any other species ?
 
3
Or have they both filled a vacant niche ?
 
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
Could there be a possibility that they may be displacing other species ?
