Sorry this is not a
message about Canberra area birds but it is from an ex-cogger that I thought
some people might like to hear about.
Whilst speaking to
my father (Reid McLachlan) the other night he was really excited about a Swamp
Harrier that has totally decimated three clutches of Black Duck ducklings on the
big irrigation dam on his farm in Railton, Tassie. Apparently the Swampy
flushes all the birds into the middle of the dam, waits for them to dive (whilst
virtually hovering) and plucks them off the water as soon as they pop
up!
Great stuff to watch
whilst eating at the dining table apparently!
