Hi Mike
Wasn't able to get to the computer yesterday to report my sightings but here
goes.
Friday: 21st Jan at 5:30am some 30 or 40 WTNT flying ever so low over the
Burpengary Shopping Centre. Stormy sky and not windy at 'earth level' but
clouds were moving quite fast above from the sea inland. I've never seen WTNT
so close. They were no more than a couple of meters above the tree tops and I
could very clearly see their white throats, white under-tails and even their
tiny beeks were visible. No need for binculars. They seem to be travelling
east to west along the Burpengary Creek. They definitely were not in a hurry,
fluttering, soaring, ducking and diving left and right. Must have hit on a
feeding patch although I could not see any 'bugs' in the air. They came
through in groups of two or three, and singularly over a 5 minute period. I
was stoked at seeing them so close to ground.
