Here on the Sunshine Coast, B,C, the first sightings of 2 Rufous was on the
20th. We saw one here in our garden in Gibsons briefly on the 23rd and again
yesterday the 26. Yesterdays bird stuck around a bit and showed off his
brilliant colours.The weather has been very cool and wet and seems to have
made them later. Swallows are around I am told but we have not yet had any.
Several flocks of swans passing by since the 6th.Beautiful morning this
morning so who knows who will turn up.
