Toldja the President should have covered
the SH in his recent ID presentation. There they are down at FSP, notes in
hand, and what’s the only raptor all day? A swampie!

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).
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.
