Tree Martin irruption

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Not new for Autumn but, given the unexpected SEQ invasions lately with Black Kites, budgies, etc, it's worth mentioning there were probably more than a thousand Tree Martins at Lockyer Siding on 21/4 flying over the creek and adjacent paddocks. By far the greatest number of this species I've ever seen in any location.

Has anyone else noted this local Tree Martin irruption?
