Giddat Birders,
                   about 2 weeks ago I went looking for the Swifties but
dipped. However, I did see a lot of lerp on many of the planted tress.
There was obviously a lot of food avaliable.

Might have to try again.

Cheers
Graham Turner

The birds mainly fed in the numerous grey box trees but also fed in some
of 
the stringybark-type and smooth-bark eucalypts that are dotted about.
All 
feeding amongst the foliage presumably for lerps as suggested by the 
behaviour (but I didn't see any lerps on the leaves, mind you I was
watching 
the birds not the leaves!). There were no freshly flowering eucalypts
(one 
tree had drying feathers).
