On the weekend I saw a largish raptor over Amaroo being mobbed
by six magpies until it left their air-space and flew out of sight to the
east. Unfortunately, it was at a height and distance (and at a bad angle
vis a vis the sun) that I couldn't tell its colouring or identity by the
naked eye, but it had a broad, non-pointed tail (so wasn't a Wedgie) and
distinct 'fingered' wing-tips.
By my reckoning, this would suggest either a Little Eagle or a
Brown Goshawk. Sorry I can't be more definitive. Perhaps
someone might be able to speculate.
