White-Throated Needletails and Australian Swiftlets, Rollingstone Qld

Hi Sun 17 th March drove north into a flock of approx 100 White-throated Needletails and a handfull of Australian Swiftlets feeding in a circular movement (from east to west) above the Bruce Hwy just south of Rollingstone. Reversed to watch them 7.35 – 7.40 am and had excellent views of white throats and rumps as birds were feeding from 2-6 metres above ground. Melleuca scrub either side of road. Clear bright morning – 33 degrees later in day. Observers Joan Wharton and Rosemary Payet
