G'day All,
On the 1st of August several large flocks of birds
(I witnessed 5 or 6 and others indicate at least 15 flocks) appeared
on the radar at Gold Coast Airport. These flocks were visible through
binoculars and must have contained at least 200 and up to 1000-2000 birds. All
flocks were flying north at about 1000 feet AGL and approximately 2-4 km
inland. They appeared dark in colour through the binocs (it was about 930
in the morn). Does anyone out there have an idea of what these might have
been or did anyone else witness it?
Cheers,
Nick Murray
