Observation details
Small number mixed in with Pacific Swifts of an estimate of 1:10 ratio. Foraging low down to 5-10 metres above the ground over Sandalwood plantations, Savannah Woodland and open areas. Swift activity constant throughout the day with House picked up regularly amongst Pacific by smaller size at close range in comparison, distinctive flight style (more fluttery shallow wingbeats) and compact structure with square tail. Again a low pressure system around in the Top End likely responsible. An extraordinary spectacle!
