Birdline Victoria Update for the week ending 18/3/01
----------
The House Swifts are a great sighting if confirmed, however almost a week
on and no-one has confirmed the sighting. The White-headed Petrel, while
not twitchable, provides us with a clue as to what is out there, when we
are not. Keep those reports coming in!
