Flocks of Flock Bronzewings, Cunnamulla to Charleville

["Graham Turner" <>]

G'day Birders, last Friday (May 2nd) I saw several thousand flock 
bronzewings along the Mitchell Hwy between Cunnamulla and Charleville. They 
seemed to be coming in to drink at the borrow pits along the side of the 
road, others were seen feeding on the road. The conditions here are drying 
out after a clearly good season with lots of high grass still with plenty of 
seed.
There were also lots of raptors, including lots of Spotted Harriers, but was 
unable to find any Grey Falcons or Letter winged kites, but they must surely 
be in the area.
This was about the 6th location for this species over the last 4 weeks of 
travelling, but was by far the largest number of birds.
Cheers
