Couldn't make how many birds there were probably only 2, but this is he first time I have seen this species flying low and drinking.

Great spotting and great photos Roger (I only managed an unidentifiable blurr ;( ) Was great to see, and they are even "swift" at having a drink!

Very good photos of a fast bird.

On a windswept hilltop in South Gippsland decades ago, as a storm approached, I was surrounded by a flock of swifts as they audibly zoomed around me for about 20 minutes. They are wonderful to watch, it was a sublime experience.
