As below, Steve got it pretty
quickly. Also Tobias and Philip.
Try photographing these in
flight and you (or at any rate I) can expect a Wotsit count above 90%.
According to the invaluable
Steve Wilson book, there were 3 records for the ACT to 1998 including 30 in
1971 at the Coppins Crossing – Uriarra Rd intersection (ie near the present
Stromlo Forest Park). With the number of keen observers now about I have
a feeling we are due for another sighting or 2.

White-backed Swallow!
Just seen many on our travels across the Great Vic Desert and in Central
Australia. Lovely little bird.
