Hi all,

Re Falcos in a day. Can't be sure of all six, because notes lost, but
am sure I got Grey, Black, Peregrine, Nankeen and Hobby (and maybe
Brown) not just in one day but in one viewing one morning in 2003
(July/August?) at Lake Belmore, town water supply for Croydon, North
Queensland. Birds were stacked, along with Black and Whistling Kites,
topped by watching Wedge-tailed Eagle, feasting on insects being swept
by stiff winds across lake and up into air off rocky ridge alongside
Belmore's community facilities block. Later jotted some lines of
doggerel and sent poem to BOCA townsville and Wingspan. Don't know if
it was ever used. And, White-bellied Sea Eagles appeared later!

Cheers   Tony Ashton
