In
some Indigenous Australian cultures/clans (whatever they're called, no
idea which ones or how many) it is believed that when the wedgies fly
near then you have been 'welcomed to the land'.
You
can peruse the farm if you want, the other side of Canberra tho - 450
acres regrowth (cleared 30-40yrs ago) and timbered hills between
Murrumbateman and Gunning.
Alex - can you explain
this please? Is there a block that you own or control that you've invited us
to bird on? I'm always on the lookout for places to photograph birds and
this is an interesting area. I should say I was unaware of Gigerline
too, so pretty ignorant of this area. Planning a trip to Angle Xing next
weekend so I will check it out as well.
Cheers

- It must be a Wedge-tailed Eagle day because I saw a pair circling over
the Murrumbidgee River on a property that is situated near Gigerline
Reserve, behind the Williamsdale Service Station on the Monaro Hwy.
That was at approximately 10am this morning.

right next to the road as we were cycling by. And there was a
White-bellied Sea-Eagle earlier in the morning between Mt MacDonald and
Uriarra Homestead.

- At 1155 today I observed a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles circling
between The Pinnacle and William Hovell Drive as I headed in to the
city. Both appeared to be adults.
- Then, as I approached the Yacht Club for a well-earned break, I
spotted a Red-capped Robin in the undergrowth of Stirling Park (what
used to be the suburb of Westlake I think).
