Fork-tailed Swifts Stafford, Brisbane
1000s of swifts around this morning north of the city - mainly
needletails, but I had c100 Fork-tailed Swifts in total mainly around
Stafford. This an iPhone pic off the back of my camera.

Fork-tailed Swift Meakin Park, Kingston, Logan City
During a bird survey this morning as part of Logan City Council's
revegetation project along Slacks Creek, I observed 2 or 3 Fork-tailed
Swifts mixed in with a flock of approximately 15 White-throated
Needletails. The birds were hawking over low eucalypts at around 5:30.
Nice to see this species in SEQ.
