More random notes, a big mixed flock of
Magpie-larks (about 25), Sparrows (about 40), Starlings (about 70) & Mynas
(about 15) from my work window. So what? One Collared
Sparrowhawk flew by about mid day to try its luck. As I left at 5.30 p.m. a
young (striped breast) probably female (by size) Peregrine Falcon zoomed
past in a direct attack on the mixed flock, without success, then sat on a fence
post then conveniently flew back, close enough and over so I could easily
pick it and disappeared as I was fumbling for my binoculars in the back of the
car.
