Hi All
I'm not a Swift authority (Needletail or
Fork-tailed) but I can say that on a number of occassions here in Broome, when
observing raptors I have noticed small black specks a great deal higher and,
when focussing on them, finding that there are a number of Fork-tailed
Swifts working the skies. Sometimes there are several and at others there are
many dozens. There is no way that I would notice these birds in the first
place without the aid of binoculars. I wonder how many of these birds we
actually miss.
Cheers
