Hi List,
This must be my year for Needletail sightings! At 11:35 am my 16 year old son &
I arrived at Macquarie Centre to buy school shoes. Getting off the bus I
glanced up to see a flock of White-throated Needletails soaring directly above
Herring Rd, Macquarie Park, NSW. GPS co-ordinates -33.776793,151.118746 . They
were soaring about pretty fast but both of us consistently counted between
50-60. The temperature was 24C & quite humid, overcast with heavy grey clouds
with patches of sun breaking through.
After about five minutes the birds coalesced into a tighter flock and flew
higher out of sight. However, when we came back out of the centre at 1:10 pm,
we could still see 6 White-throated Needletails soaring about in the same
position. No time to look further for more as our bus arrived.
