Several times over the last two years I have
seen one, two or three Wedge-tailed Eagles from my work desk
at Fyshwick, (3 once last month). Sometimes I actually go out the door of the
office, a 2 metre stretch. Once one Eagle was carrying sticks, so they
presumably breed somewhere nearby (probably near New Line Quarry, the direction
it appeared to be heading at the time). Always flying though. Except yesterday,
during a rather cool dull day. One of the chaps pointed out to me an eagle
perched on the fence about 40 metres on the other side of Tennant Street. Boss
came out intrigued, said he had seen them around Flinders Ranges but not around
Canberra, to which I said they have a good population here and there is at least
a pair frequently over the paddocks opposite. Upon which another WtE flew slowly
over its partner sitting on the perch.
Not an important message, just nice.
