Aug 1: Just as our lovely swifts are about to depart, I've finally completed this collage which aims to celebrate these super "black arrows" which do so much to brighten our skies in summer. Inspired by their arrival in Bungay, back in May, I was so drawn to these amazing creatures that I created a linocut featuring 3 swifts. The idea for this collage came on a later mixed media workshop with my inspiring art teacher Michele. And this is the result...the background consists of a page taken from an old map, swift silhouettes cut out from card, painted shadows, watercolour and wax crayons applied to greaseproof paper and fine cotton webbing to add texture. A laquered door from an old Chinese cabinet is currently acting as an interesting frame! Will be very sad to see the swifts depart but at least I'll have this to remember them by...
A 1946 Swift parked at Westheimer Field in Norman, OK. Swifts were manufactured 1946-51. Designed to appeal to the veteran pilots of WWII, they were tail-draggers featuring low wings and retractable gear.

I have taken hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures of swifts, mostly without success. But yesterday I spend I good deal of time reading up on camera settings, watching YouTube videos about photographing birds in flight. Well, I think this is the best I've yet managed of one.

It was a unique privilege to have several Swift Parrots spend a few days feeding in the Ironbarks in our street this week. Swift Parrots are not only gorgeous, but incredibly rare, with only 2000 individuals remaining in the wild. Swift parrots migrate over 1000km from their breeding grounds in Tasmania to feed on nectar throughout southeastern Australia.
A swift above my garden. (Sorry about the blur, but the clue's in the name—these things are bloody FAST.)

Possibly a mixture of White Throated Needletails and Fork Tailed Swifts. All flocked together and flying ahead of an approaching storm front. I don't have time to count them yet. From Maramingo Fire Lookout Tower.
Swift Parrots are endangered in all states and nationally; it's estimated there are around 1000 breeding pairs remaining with no sign of recovery in numbers yet. They migrate from their breeding grounds in Tasmania to the mainland each year and some pass Canberra around May and September. Sometimes we manage to see them here if they decide to use the suburbs as a staging post, tending to hang around feeding for a week or two in the same area before resuming their journey.
It will be interesting to see if the excellent rainfall in the last year leads to an increase in numbers.
This bunch were noticed by Matthew in the ironbarks planted in urban carparks at Tuggeranong. I finally got to catch up with them 10 days later -- this day there were only moulting immature birds to be seen. This is one, beautiful of course but not the most photogenic at this moulting stage. Notice the claw on the leaf, I saw some hanging only by leaves.
