The SFW is not endangered in NSW either. I think the newspaper article was
misleading, I would say that the SFW is extremely uncommon in the City of
Sydney Local Government Area because most of its habitat has been cleared (very
little habitat left and what remains occurs as isolated islands of habitat),
predation by cats (and probably rats), possible disruption of nesting in parks
by humans & dogs, maybe even impacted by the use of pesticides. So the SFW is
probably endangered in the City of Sydney LGA.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Superb Fairy-wrens in SMH
The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on wildlife in Sydney at
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/animals/pool-harbours-last-croaks-of-precious-frogs-20130810-2ror4.html
mostly about Green & Golden Bell Frogs, in which it labels Superb Fairy-wrens
as “endangered”. Now, I don’t believe they are endangered nationally, are they
endangered locally?
