Hi Jan and all,

Last year in the Capertee Valley NSW when there was an irruption of nesting White-browed Woodswallows, one pair had built their nest inside an old Magpie-lark nest on my place.

Interestingly, this season I haven't seen a single White-browed or Masked Woodswallow in the valley. They're obviously all further west.

Cheers

Carol
