Yesterday afternoon (Friday) I decided to retrace
my usual wander from Kambah Pool to where the power line goes over the river, at
which point I sat for 20 minutes. During that time I watched on the far side of
the river, so about 1 km distance from me, a pair of kestrels and five either
Collared Sparrowhawks and / or Brown Goshawks (at that distance quite impossible
to be sure of which) all circling around pretty much the same spot for about ten
minutes, except that the kestrels only appeared when the hawks were out of my
sight. By the way they were flying I thought they may be catching aerial insects
like grasshoppers or beetles.
