Hello fellow birders
From 8 – 8.45 am watched mixed group of Australian Swiftlets and Fork-tailed Swifts circling, feeding and flying north in waves of about 50 till the groups got smaller and towards the end about 4 White-throated Needletails were seen. Estimated total: 1500, 2/3 being Australian Swiftlets and 1/3 Fork-tailed Swifts.
Also surprised by a flock of approx 50 Budgerigars flying south. Very unusual for this area – although groups have been seen in Towwnsville and surrounds recently. Rosemary Payet, Joan Wharton.
