Mike (and others) White-throated Needletails – at least 2 at Blackbutt Avenue Pennant Hills 28/12/18 6:40PM. Both came in just above tree top height (50m) and circled briefly – may have been more to the south but hard to tell. Weather hot and humid, but no rain. Pacific Swift – a flock just flew . . . → Read More: A couple of Swift sightings The Red Goshawk conversation is interesting but not conservationally enlightening re the proposed area apparently to be Strip Mined.
