Hi Colin et. al.
Big flocks of Forest Ravens are not unusual in Tassie, especially
during winter, though. There are regular reports of them numbering
in their hundreds, especially foraging in open/ploughed paddocks.
400 is a goood sized flock, though!

Hi all,
Recently while in Tassie i observed a flock of at least 400 Forest
Ravens flying in a very tight swirling mass just East of Hobart
near Clifton Beach. Not sure whether this is unusual but it was a
very impressive sight.
Over Easter while camping on the Murray i witnessed early one
morning a large flock of over 300 Tree Martins again in a tight
flock swooping low over a bend in the river drinking and apparently
bathing whilst on the wing. Again that night they returned just
prior to dusk and repeated the performance. Nature at it's best,
what a sight.
Are the size of these flocks unusual and what other flocks of birds
that are not known for flocking together have others seen.
Regards from Colin.
Colin Judkins.
