Anglesea Heath: 100s of swifts and more...

Hi Frank, 

Seems to be a lot of swifts getting
around the Geelong and surfcoast region at the moment. 

Could you please please please give
me location details of where you saw the chestnut rumped heathwrens?

I always fail to find them, and am constantly
in the anglesea area.  

As precise directions as possible would
be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Peter

Subject	[BIRDING-AUS] Anglesea Heath: 100s of swifts and more...

Dear all,

on Sunday morning, I saw what must have been more than 500 Fork-tailed
Swifts circling over Torquay (Great Ocean Road) and smaller scattered groups
further west along the Surf Coast towards Lorne.

Anglesea Heath ("The Bald Hills") was pretty windy and hot, but
still 
yielded a couple of Chestnut-rumped Heathwrens, a Pink Robin, a Southern
Emuwren, King Parrots, a female Myiagra (Leaden/Satin, pretty late) and
a 
couple of Little Lorikeets amongst scores of Purple-crowned's.

Cheers
Frank
