Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Location: St Hallett Winery, Tanunda
Black Falcon (Falco subniger) (1) Only the second time I have seen a Black
Falcon at the winery, this bird came from the farming country out to the west
and dived through the neighbouring farms Feral Pigeons then preceeded to soar
on a thermal heading in a southerly direction towards Altona Landcare Reserve.
One of the wineries resident Kestrals gave it a good seeing off as it drifted
south!
Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) (1) Flying quite low in a SE direction,
often see lots of Little Pied Cormorants flying over here but this is the first
time I have seen a Great fly over
