Evening all,
I saw 2 Little Eagles around lunchtime today from the
grounds of CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems (aka Wildlife and Ecology). The first
was a dark morph being harassed by several Australian Ravens and I put its
position about where the GDE passes over the Barton Highway. It was last seen heading
towards central Kaleen. The second bird was further away, probably over Yowani
golf course, and was too far away to be sure of the colour. It was being
attacked by a gang of very vocal magpies. Both birds were quite high. I don’t
know if these birds were the pair that used to regularly occur on Gungahlin
Hill NR several years ago (one a light and one a dark morph), were the birds
from Fyshwick, or the pair from northwest Belconnen. Whichever it was still
good to see they still frequent the city area.
