In the opposite to the old American phrase: "Go west, Young Man" today, I observed a small flock of
White-browed Woodswallows circling high in the air, and being blown east
on strong north-westerly winds.
Date 17 October, 12:30 PM. The Robertson Fire Brigade's Automatic Weather station reports, wind gusting to 40 Km/hour. http://robertson.rfsa.org.au/weather/ These birds normally are found west of the Divide, in places like Cowra and Grenfell, but they travel on the winds for reasons which elude me. They are terrific fliers. Perhaps they just enjoy "riding the winds"? Denis Wilson Springtime - Ya wouldn't be dead for Quids. "The Nature of Robertson" www.peonyden.blogspot.com.au |
