In over 60 years of birding"down under" this is only the second time that we have seen a White-throated Needletail on the ground.These birds spend 24/7 gliding up to an altitude of 2000metres when here on migration and are very,very rarely seen on the ground.This bird was found in our garden and we do not know how it got there.With sickle-shaped wings it has a lot of trouble getting airborne and we have taken it to a vet to see if it is carrying an injury.
