at Kellys ......

With the strong winds on Sunday Fairy
Martins were quite obvious at several locations - I saw this species at
Yerrabi Pond (>6) and McKellar Wetland (3) mixing with Welcome Swallows.

And a Hobby almost knocked me over at
Gungahlin Pond on Sunday, as it shot down from Percival Hill and out over
the water, before I lost sight of it. 5 Varied Sittellas were the highlight
at Percival Hill Reserve.

Cheers

Classification

Also, there were between 5 - 10 Fairy Martins
foraging with the Welcome Swallows, just above the water surface. Also
large numbers of Red-browed Finches in the casuarinas, so potentially feeding
on casuarina seed (mentioned to follow up on a recent thread, in case anyone
is interested to follow up on this).
 
Hi All,
 
I certainly agree with Ian's subject line.
I (and Maria) saw an adult (female I think) Swamp Harrier at Kellys swamp
at about 4.15 p.m. on Sunday. It made a circuit low over the swamp, upsetting
the ducks, etc.
 
Philip
