A researcher says he has photographed two types of Asian swiftlets for the first time in Australia after they blew in on the winds of Tropical Cyclone Damien.
University of Queensland bird researcher Nigel Jackett said he snapped the edible-nest swiftlet and the Himalayan swiftlet over Broome as the cyclone was strengthening off Western Australia’s Kimberley coast.
