Late needletails, Blue Mountains NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

This morning at 10am, there were 4 White-throated Needletails flying 
west over Katoomba NSW. This is close to the latest I've seen them - 
usually the last ones come through here around the end of March or 
1st April. However in general we've had relatively few needletail 
sightings this season in the Blue Mountains.
Also of interest were 16 Gang-gang Cockatoos seen this morning in 
west Katoomba.
The honeyeater migration is now in full swing with thousands of 
Yellow-faced with a few White-naped moving through yesterday and 
today.
And for anyone wanting to see Bassian Thrush, there is a pair 
regularly feeding on the lawn at Leura Cascades picnic area, very 
approachable.
Cheers,

Carol
