One more bird and swifts from QLD australia
I photographed these birds beside a creek at Wavell Heights just north of Brisbane.
The first 2 photos I believe to be of a Golden headed Cisticola but it seems very pale so i'm not sure and need help. The next photos are of swifts the first one with its completely white breast underbelly and vent area has me confused because i cannot find any birds with an underbody this color in my guides. The second swift I believe may be a White throated needletail judging on tail shape and underbody coloring. All comments welcome.

Woodswallows have a rather different flight pattern to Needletails. Did you see birds 3 and 4 at the same time?
