g'Day all
On 1st March at 17 35 hrs about 15 km north of MonteColina Bore on the
Strzelecki Track in north eastern SA 40 + Fork-tailed Swifts were seen
hawking south across the sand hills. At 1830 hrs (about 1 hr later)
there were 30+ Fork-tailed Swifts flying south east at the Strzelecki
Creek crossing located approximately 30 km ne of the earlier
sightinhg. Strong SE winds had been blowing for two days and we were
at the western edge of a large rain depression. Having previously
resided for more than 20 years in this region of SA, the observation was
only my third sighting of FTS in north eastern sa. Other sightings were
in Feb 1974 at Balcanoona and Feb 1989 at Lake Torrens, both also
exceptionally wet years in outback SA
