Woodswallow influx..

["Kurtis Lindsay" <>]

I can vouch for this apparent influx of White-browed Woodswallows as over 
the past two weeks I have had small to large flocks over my house in East 
Killara, Sydney.
The first lot were on the 4/10 - this consisted of small flock of about 7-8 
birds heading North East and were quite high up.
The second flock was much larger and seen on the16/10, this flock flew over 
from down the valley in Garigal NP (where I presume they were feeding 
amongst the trees?) and were swept high over me house by a powerful breeze, 
this flock consisted of about 30-40 birds and was heading NW.
The last flock was sighted on the 19/10 and consisted of between 50-60 
birds, they were flying West over my house in a loose flock which continued 
for quite some time.
I did not manage to identify any Masked amongst the larger flocks as the 
birds were quite high up, but think there may have been some as a few 
different calls were heard.
