Date: Monday, March 7, 2011
Location: On our Rockleigh property
Mistletoebird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum) (1) Nothing special about this young male
bird, except that it was species number 50 on our mostly grassy 40 hectares
Tree Martin (Hirundo nigricans) (1) and the single tree martin flying with a
pair of welcome swallows was number 51.
Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena) (1) We used to have 100-150 welcome swallows
roosting under our veranda. Around Christmas something spooked them, or chased
them away, or maybe even ate them (as a kestrel did a year before). Now there
are very few, sometimes only 2 and last night about 8. The only positive thing
about this is that we no longer have much swallow poo on our brick patio.
