Spent this afternoon (2 Sep) on the western lower
slopes of Mt Majura.
The one thing I had hoped for,
territory-advertising Little Eagles, did not show up. From 16.52h
onwards Dusky Woodswallows (DW) were gliding in a SW direction, using the
updraft along the Mt Majura/Mt Ainslie ridge that Terry Gourlay mentioned
recently in relation to his raptor sightings there. Main appearance of
DW around sunset though, in total 200 birds:16 + 26 + 8 + 150. The latter flock
appeared just after sunset and went down over the woodland and must have
settled for the night on Mt Majura.
