Yeah
haven't the Corellas been deafening!
--- a
flock of 105 + 10 corellas flew over my place in Narrabundah
yesterday, this is the largest group I've seen. There's never a day when
I don't hear overflying corellas now.
--- A refurbished WT Eagle
nest near Tharwa has fresh leaves and the remains of a carcass of probably
rabbit in it, but no eggs or chicks.
--- Coming back from not actually
seeing the fictional Pied Heron at Bega, we saw a very dark Brown Falcon
hovering above the road for at least 30 seconds. I thought this was
interesting given the number of times I've heard that the only hovering
raptors around here are kestrels and bs kites. The more experienced
birders were not so excited though, and I see even Pizzey says that they hover
'clumsily'. I don't do videos but have posted an animation for anyone
interested. It does manage to convey something of the effort that must
be required by an occasional hoverer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozjulian/2603820686/
