| Sat 1 | | Fairy Martin
Safety Cove State Reserve area on private property |
|
| We spotted a reasonable group of Fairy Martins - they have built nests and were busy getting mud from puddles in the lane way for more nest construction. We kept well clear of this activity so photo quality is poor but we got photos of the nests, birds in flight and birds resting on fences including a juvenile. I have reported this on 2 dates in eBird with photos. we have estimated the number of Fairy Martins there to be somewhere between 20 and 50 birds. There were also many Tree Martins and Welcome Swallows there all flying about. The sighting is on private property and not accessible for general public. eBird checklist |

| Fri 30 | | Fairy Martin
Safety Cove State Reserve- area- on private property |
|
| Spotted Fairy Martins and nests on a private property near Safety Cove State Reserve. There was much activity and a juvenile bird was spotted too. Photos of the juvenile and the nest are shown on the eBird record. There is some evidence that the birds may have nested there in previous years as there are some possible old nest sites. eBird checklist |
