sorry mike, my bad
the second flock ( at cabbage-tree palm creek) was probably 15-25 birds, but

G'day Kev
Thank you for your WTNT sightings - they are much appreciated. Thank
you also for giving data on the type of flying and weather.
You did not give an approximate size for the second flock.
Happy swift watching.
Cheers
