Swifts

[John Brannan <>]

A flock of c.40-50 flew over my place in Florey at about 1.30 this afternoon.

Every one I got the bins onto had a white rump and a forked tail, so I’m assuming they were all Fork-tailed.

Around 20 Swifts, of which around 18 were Fork-tailed, over Turner between 12.15 and 12.40. Heading south.

Would be interesting to know how widespread that is. There are four (or more) Fork-tailed Swifts over my house now.

This morning 100+ Swifts of both species swirling low over the paddocks at Jerrabomberra Wetlands, just north of the carpark.
