 HI Beth

I have seen Brown Falcons feeding off (already) dead sheep on several
occasions. Both singly and as a pair.

Cheers
Dunc

Hi Everyone,

This afternoon I observed a Brown Falcon (a local, I suspect, as I see
one quite regularly on this drive) feeding off a road-killed kangaroo on
Coppins Crossing Road, near the junction with Uriarra Road.  I'm not
sure that I have seen a Brown Falcon scavenging like this before; has
anyone else?

Cheers,
Beth.
