G'day Mike My last record for the season for any migratory swifts up here was 
on 10/04/12 in Cairns of quite a number of Fork-tailed Swifts, all heading in a 
SE direction.    This is the first season where I haven't had ANY  
White-throated Needletails on the Cairns lowlands, not sure if anyone else here 
has had any??  I have seen Fork-taileds on fewer occasions this season here, 
although in some very very high numbers.   I've attached my records for the 
season herewith for you.  Cheers    Martin Cachard  Cairns  0428 782 808
