Using my memory of the locus of Chateau McDonald, and having pinned the hacienda at El Rancho Carwoola, the attached image courtesy of Google Earth, in conjunction with the BoM description of NWly winds, reinforces the possibility that it was David's flock of woodswallows that turned up near our place. The image is 27Kb.

I think they have carried on South. A largish flock - I'd estimate at least 20, but they were flying low to try to avoid the wind - seen opposite 18 Whiskers Creek Road, Carwoola at 15:30. Unfortunately they were about 800m from my GBS site (upwind of that position so it is unlikely they'll return).

A flock of about 60 at lunchtime today over our home at Wamboin,
swirling around in the awful wind.
