Giday Birders,
as
hinted at by Evan there was a flock of fork-tailed swifts over Lapstone last
night (Lapstone is in the lower Blue Mountains, about 60km west of the Sydney
CBD). My best count was 17 but felt there were more birds that I could not
see. The birds seemed to be feeding and headed off slowly to the south, which is
why Evan missed seeing them.
Also there was an odd bird amongst them, similar in
size and shape to a fork-tail, but no matter how long I watched it, it would not
fork its tail (the others did this quite regularly). My guess is that it was
just a fork-tail but with maybe some outer tail feathers missing. Any thoughts
on this?
Cheers
Graham Turner
