Hi all
 1st sighting of the year for me from my house today - 1 November - at 12:45. 
A smallish flock of 20ish birds, quite low. No other swifts in there that I 
could see.
Checking my records for the 11 "swift seasons" I have lived here, this is 
the earliest sighting by 11 days (doesn't mean they haven't been around of 
course, just that I haven't seen them.)
Also from the house this weekend (between ferrying my kids around to various 
events) a Peregrine (twice), Brown Goshawk, Collared Sparrowhawk, a Koel 
seems to have taken up residence on the district (taken a long time this 
year), a Kookaburra helping itself to the young stink bugs on my grapefruit 
and lemon trees and the Boobook Owl was calling again overnight.
Cheers
 Tom Wilson
