Wed 21 Jan Pacific Swift (5) Margate, Tabors Road
At about 8.30pm at the start of our evening walk, we were alerted to 5
birds calling overhead. Without binoculars we were uncertain but
suspected Pacific Swift. This was confirmed after returning home and
listening to their call on an app.

Mon 19 Jan Freckled Duck (40) Queechy Lake
40 Freckled Ducks - northern end - flushed from willows. Also Dusky
Moorhen, Australasian Shovellers, Hardheads etc. [Moderator's note:
this is the largest number of Freckled Ducks seen at one site since the
species began to appear in Tasmania nearly two years ago and suggests
that the influx may still be occurring. PB]
