Flocks of Woodswallows flew over Cook 3 times today. The first flock at 8.15 was the largest, maybe 100 or so. Then at 12pm and 4pm smaller flocks of c. 20, although they were higher and more dispersed so I may not have seen all the birds. All flocks were heading north-west into the breeze. They had me wondering whether they were the same birds on some grand 4 hour circuit, heading north-west until they were sucked up in a thunderstorm vortex and blown back south-east to do it all again.  :-)
 
cheers
