Hi Ricki,
I agree that Swifts must often be missed. I recall an occasion here in
the western suburbs of Adelaide a few years ago, ahead of a storm front,
when many Fork-tailed Swifts were swooping in circles fairly low over home.
I was following them with binoculars, and by chance noticed specks above
them.
These were White-throated Needletails flying quite separately from the
Fork-tails; well above them, and travelling in a near straight line towards
the north. They would certainly not have been noticed without binoculars.
Whilst on the subject, has anybody sighted Swifts in the Adelaide area
this season yet? I have not seen any.
Regards
John Turner
Adelaide
