more 05/06 reports:
on 4/11/05 a single at Karumba, Qld.
on 7/11/05, much more spectacular - birds were
noted streaming north over the road for 100-150km either side of Windorah. There
were always a couple of dozen at least in view, and the total number seen, all
going north, was comfortably in the thousands, though no attempt was made at a
count. Arriving at Bowra the next afternoon Ian reported that he had had large
numbers of swifts (unidentified) going over, again all were heading
north.
