Needletails near Wallabadah, 3 Jan 13

[Laurie Knight <>]

There were somewhere between 50 and 100 Needletails wheeling about in  
the vicinity of the New England Highway near Wallabadah around 9 am  
AEDST on the 3rd of January.  (Some skidding low, others high).
I picked a Crimson Rosella off the Waterfall Way late on the previous  
afternoon - it was on its back in the middle of the road about 20 km  
out of Armidale.  It had probably bounced off a passing car.  It was  
strong enough to bite me when I picked it up and to hold on to the  
branch of a nearby tree.  It wasn't there the next morning (no body or  
feathers in the vicinity) so I presume it made a sufficient recovery  
to fly off.
Regards, Laurie.
