Hi Mike and all from Gloucester NSW

Today at midday saw 8 swifts over my back garden at  32 00 04 - 151 57 59.

They were circling from approx.100m up to almost out of sight, well apart and I only saw 8 at one time. A Dollarbird family (2 adults/3 juv) were also busily hawking from the trees at the back, so there must have been a hatch-out of some tasty insects - couldn't see anything in particular. It's been overcast all day, calm and very humid and hot, but just had a short heavy thunder/rain storm from the east, so it's cooled down.
