The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period
Monday, March 11, 2013 to Sunday, March 17, 2013:
Area: SA
Date: Monday, March 11, 2013
Location: Newland Head Conservation Park
Fork-tailed Swift (Apus pacificus) (300+) Over a three hour period and a
distance of 5km east from the Waitpinga beach campground, Swifts could
constantly be seen or heard feeding over the clifftops, sometimes in dense
kettles of 100 birds or more. Where the path runs close to the clifftop,
smaller groups of swifts surrounded us at eye level and below, sometimes
passing as close as a metre or two.
Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis) (4) A family group of two adults and two
juveniles seen on Waitpinga Beach before and after the Swift sighting.

Black-chinned Honeyeater (Melithreptus gularis) (1) Good view of single bird
calling strongly, has become a regular visitor to the area more often heard
