Three Gang-gang Cockatoos were on the Brighton Golf Course on Tuesday
morning (22/3). They have been there or at the nearby Dendy Park in four of
the last five years, sometimes staying for months.
Today a robin, probably a Flame Robin, was seen near the Clock Tower in
Black Rock. If confirmed this would beat the earliest first arrival on our
database by one day.
On 16/3 I had the amazing experience of seeing a peregrine making a shallow
dive at a screeching sulphur-crested cockatoo in Beaumaris. It circled and
soon headed towards me, dropped its talons, and passed 5 to 10 metres (I
reckon) overhead. 20 minutes later presumably the same peregrine dived
towards 7 cockies perched on a big banksia.
An inexperienced or desperate bird ?
