Interesting Mike, I was in Newcastle on Sunday pm and didn't see any and
there have been none yet that I have seen around Toronto, Lake Macquarie.
I shall let you know the first time I spot them.

Subject: White-throated Needletails around Newcastle for
threedays: any where else?
G'day birding-Ausers
For the last three days Craig Williams has been watching and reporting quite
a few hundred needletails feeding around southern Newcastle and the
vegetated areas to the SE of Newcastle. In that I spent last week driving
around the area just south of there in Alan Morris's "backyard" looking for
needletails but never saw any I believe the birds Craig is seeing are the
main leading group pushing south. I have had reports of only much smaller
groups further south.
Can any of you corroborate this concept or does any one have data to oppose
this idea?
The three days have been warm to hot with clear blue skies so they are not
staying there because of a stationary rain-front.
I would appreciate any data on Needletails (or FTS) sent directly unless you
want the whole list to know.
Many thanks
Mike Tarburton
