Needletail maybe?  (AKA swifts). Two species locally. As shown in relevant books. Outside, up in the sky, at whatever altitude, at almost any location. Most of my Canberra observations have been when hanging out or taking in washing on the hills hoist.  In Australia mostly in summer to early autumn. Probably most often in late afternoons and often before rains, although why that is the case must be a bit of a mystery.  .
