While I was in the swamp area and the cane fields last week I saw dozens of these flying out from the high tree tops in the late afternnon , gliding and swooping on insects up high. They were very high up so I was delighted when sitting next to the river to find a few repeating the behaviour but from a lower tree. Quite a nice call too and fun to watch
They were just next to Maroochy river ...Sunshine Coast
good pics of a nice bird

I love these guys and you did well Adrienne. I've saw them close up in great light once but no camera!
Cheers, Owen.
Thanks Owen .... just the right place right time I think!!!

Thanks for sharing Adriennne.
I love the fluffiness of these guys. I didn't realise we got them around here - I thought they were more of an inland bird.
Though having read the biby page I was clearly a bit wrong :)
