In concurrence with Bruce Ramsay's earlier report, the aggregation of hirundines at Kelly's Swamp and the FSTW provided quite a spectacle today. Conservatively, the total exceeded 500 birds and my estimate is 300+ Welcome Swallows, 150+ Fairy Martins and 50+ Tree Martins at 14:30. I do not see any conflict between these observations, the difference being explained simply by the arrival of more birds. I do not recall observing so many Fairy Martins at one location previously in the ACT.
