Hi Mike and others interested

Having breakfast at around 8 A.M. this morning and noticed Needletails
flying past. Went out on the veranda and counted 200+ WTNT's , many coming
very low and close to the house. Was able to see the "spines" on one tail
without the aid of binoculars. They are fairly regular around our property
but I've never seen this many before. Drove the 7km to work and there were
100+ over Dungog township as well.

It has been dry for some time, but we have had good rain in the last 2 days.
The weather conditions were full cloud cover, no wind or storms.

Cheers

Dick Jenkin
