At the Weddins site at the weekend there was an unusually large number of White-backed Swallows. The below pic shows 17 but I’ve another with more than 20 perched while yet more were in flight, some at the limit of visual range, so a reasonable estimate would be 30. The site is only about 175km away in a straight line, so it is surprising that this mobile species is recorded so rarely around Canberra. If you only get a brief view of a distant swallow, these can look very like Tree Martins.
