Barn Swallow
West Island, Cocos Keeling Islands
There have been large numbers of Barn Swallow all over West Island in the last week, particularly at Quarantine Station, the Old Jetty and near the Transfer Station. There have even been some flying through West Island township! I haven't seen that before. There are up to 6 little birds sitting on the Q Station fence at any one time and several more flying around the same area. I have recorded Barn Swallows here every month except May and June since I started bird watching in January 2011 but have never seen them in large numbers before or sitting on the Q Station fence in small groups.
