3 UNCOMMON SOUTHERN HIGHLAND BIRDS AT HOME TODAY...

Little Lorikeet (a pair rocketing through the sky, heading to the south-east), White-throated Needletails (3 birds quite low at home; I love their fluttery flight interspersed with glides on long, sickle-like wings) and an Australian Owlet-nightjar (the bird's distinct single note heard just once). Nice one. LJ, December 13 2013.
