Mulligans and Peregrine Falcon

[Julian Robinson <>]

Lindsay Nothrop and I were happy to see a pair of Hooded Robins
keeping very close company with a male Golden Whistler for at
least half an hour at Mulligans on Sunday, about 500m northwest of the
Black HE dam.  They were with Thornbills (Buff-rumped
Striated and Yellow-rumped) and Speckled Warblers etc, as reported
by others.  No red robins. This was my first real view of a
Nemesis-Bird (Speckled Warbler) so I was doubly pleased.

We also saw a Peregrine Falcon do a single fly-over, this bird
doesn't appear on the Mulligan's list.

The next day I didn't see any Peregrine Falcons at The Big Hole,
despite a chilly crossing of the Shoalhaven to get there.  I thought
from memory that it was a dry-shoe crossing (10 years ago last visit) --
but certainly not now.
