Hi all,

On 8 March, about 10.30am, an outing from the BOCA camp at Alexandra a large 
'swarm' of 'hunderds' of White-throated Needletails were seen high (most were 
invisible to the naked eye) above McKenzie Reserve just south of Alexandra,  
GPS reading 37° 12' 42"E 145° 43' 5"S.  Some in the group of about 30 observers 
also saw some Fork-tailed Swifts.  Welcome Swallows and Tree Martins were also 
in the same area but much lower. Clear blue sky, light breeze, overcast earlier 
in day.
