There was an adult Square-tailed Kite at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan (NSW) yesterday, at 12.30 pm. Very good views of the bird flying low, over and between the trees, for about 5 minutes. This is a new species for the bird list there.
Also, last Wednesday, 7/3/12, approximately 50 White-throated Needletails on the Bruxner Highway, c. 2 km east of Lismore (NSW). I drove along this stretch of road twice, at 8.30am and 9am, and each time many birds were flying low over the ridge. Conditions were fine, a gentle southerly breeze, and the birds were heading south, into the breeze.
