G'day Peter & other readers
WTNT have gone scarce in Victoria in the last fortnight - so good to
have your sighting. The Larmours saw 3 in Chiltern on the 4th March,
and Michael Ramsey saw 10 west of Castlemaine today, so only small
flocks when they are being located.
WTNT have been found in cold weather or when food was in short supply
in a state of temporary hibernation in a tree hollow in Qld (Emu 85,
200-201). This makes one think of this possiblity when we realise
how cold it has been in Vic recently.
Happy swift hunting
Mike

Driving back from lunch in Milawa, there were White-throated
Needletails just above the tree canopy over the Hume Highway. Five
birds were seen between the northern edge of the Chiltern Forest
and the Barnawatha Forest, but I suspect they were part of a larger
flock within the area.
Cheers,
Peter
