I was on a tour around the duntroon estate this
morning - without binos!
I saw a flock of about 30 white birds very
high. I guessed Australian ibis, but now I wonder if it was the Cattle
egrets? The timing was around 10:30 to 11:00am.
Also, adjacent to the Duntroon diary above Morshead
Drive, was a light phase Little eagle. It circled around fairly low just
above the tree tops. High in the Eucalyptus trees near where it was
flying, was a large stick-nest, about 3/4 of a metre in diameter and quite
deep. Do we have records of breeding Little eagles in this vicinity (on
the southern slopes of Mt Pleasant)?
