On Thursday evening (about 6.15) there was a Willie Wagtail commotion
in the back yard. There was a Brown Goshawk perched in an Argyle Apple tree (Eucalyptus cineria) being harassed by a
Wagtail. The Goshawk was clutching a dead bird in its right
claw. The bird had main grey wings with some of the primary feathers being
yellow – unfortunately I couldn’t see any more detail than that. A
white plumed honey eater perhaps?.
After being battered by the WW for some
time, two Currawongs arrived to join the fray. The Goshawk departed soon after,
