While sitting at the computer reading Nicki's message I heard the woodswallows outside here in Hawker! I've been out looking at them for the last ten minutes or so. About 30 birds, and most of them Masked as far as I can tell in the fading light. They were flying quite low including down amongst the tree tops. A great sight!

Cheers

I was alerted by their chirping to a flock of 40 woodswallows flying over our house in Cook (4.45pm) heading into the breeze in a north-westerly direction. Of the 5 or so that were low enough to see clearly, they were all Masked Woodswallow. Doesn't mean there were no White-browed amongst the other 35, I just couldn't confirm it.

cheers
