backyard visitor.

["Jenny Skewes" <>]

We looked out of the window this morning, here in suburban Heathmont (east
of Melbourne) and saw an unusual bird perched in a tree. Not much bigger
than a Spotted Turtledove or Red Wattlebird, both common, but different...a
raptor?...yes, an immature Collared Sparrowhawk. Quite a sighting for the
back yard.
