Hi Luke,
One would think that it was not bats during the mid afternoon.

There was an interesting anomaly on the the Bureau's Doppler Wind radar
yesterday afternoon in Melbourne. At around 15:19 you will notice a blue
streak originating in Lilydale and moving towards Melbourne, disappearing
at 16:07.

Could this be bird/bat movements?

Similar examples occurred in Sydney earlier in the year. Apparently the
orange streak originating in Camden (20:31) and heading southwest is birds
or bats late in the day.

Can anyone confirm large bird/bat movements in the Camden area that this
could represent?
