Good evening all,

 

I have just had 8 White-throated Needletails (aka Spine-tailed Swifts) fly over my house in Kaleen plus what could have been a Fork-tailed Swift (only got a very brief view but it did have a longer, thinner tail than the W-t N). The first seven swifts came from a northerly direction flying south and the 8th bird plus the possible fork-tail came in from the west. These are the first swifts I have seen over Kaleen for many years. An incidental report form will be filled in.

 

Cheers,

Mark
