Swifts & Needletails - Update

["Bob Cook" <>]

Update to first report - approx 45 mins later, same location, as the next
rain band started.  Approx. 30 more birds - very high.  Hard to tell with
rain falling on the bins, but at least 6 FTS and at least 4 Needletails
identified.

Hi Mike and others,

 

Group of approx 8 Fork-tailed Swifts, followed about 10 mins later by two
individual White-throated Needletails.

 

Between rain fronts in our very humid, rainy, stormy central Vic day.
Approx 5:45 p.m., all heading South-east, i.e. with the fronts coming from
the North-west.

 

Axedale, between Bendigo and Heathcote, Central Victoria.  First sighting of
F-tS at our property in 6 years - have seen Needletails once before.
