Fork-tailed Swifts Flock Torres Strait. Qld.
By malarus5, on January 16th, 2014
Gooday, 60+ Fork-tailed Swifts in feeding flock between Bluefish Point and towards Heath Point on Muralug Beach, Prince of Wales Is. Qld. Date 14 January 2014. Time 0840 – 0915. Weather hot and building up for storms. Birds I estimated were the ones down low in a feeding flock. If I put my glasses up into the sky I could observe 100’s of Swifts almost naked to the eye. Left for Thursday Is. at 9.15 no Swifts observed at TI after we went up to Greenhill to check. Regards Jon and Camilla Wren Muralug Beach Prince of Wales Is. Qld. _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
Hi Jon & Camilla, I live at Apollo bay in SW Victoria and on the evening of thursday the 16th, hundreds of fork-tailed Swifts arrived here, again hot weather building into thunderstorms. Apparently they arrive every year around the 10th. regards Steve Sheers _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
