Hello Mike,


Travelled to Port Gregory on the WA coast, between Geraldton and Kalbarri on 
Friday 25 February. On arrival at the Caravan Park at about 2:00 Pm a flock 
of 50 - 100 Fork-tailed Swifts were overhead, from 20 metres above us to very 
high above us. The flock stayed around all afternoon.
On the morning of 26th I first saw 4 birds at 6:30 AM and then by 9:00 AM the 
whole flock was back around the park.
Drove to Kalbarri early in the afternoon, leaving the swifts very much in 
evidence at the park.
Visited 3 of the coastal cliff lookouts just south of Kalbarri around 3:00 PM 
and saw swifts at each stop - between 5 and 15 at each location.
Got back to Port Gregory at about 4:30 PM and there was not a swift to be 
found. 


Regards, Clive.
