Sat 24 Jan Fork-tailed Swift Mount Louisa--suburb, Queensland, AU
On our return home 9:15am, we pulled into our driveway to be surrounded
by hawking/feeding Fork-tailed Swifts. Some very low at tree-top height
and extending to altitudes where we could just make them out through
binoculars. Estimated numbers at that time 1500 (+) and now at 10:45am
the numbers have dwiindled to about 50 to 60.
