On a birding day out on 13th At Eltham ( North of
Alstonville, North coast NSW) 20+ Spine-tailed swifts were spiralling over head.
It was a very hot morning, they vanished after about 5 minutes.
The owners of the property had placed nest boxes in
the garden trees & in one box was a family of Australian Owl-let
nightjars. An adult did come to the entrance to see what we were doing, much to
our delight.
Koels have arrived in this part of the North coast
(NSW) & do call very, very early in the morning.
