Hi all
There was a Latham's Snipe at West Belconnen Pond this morning.
---------------------------------------------------
And flying over head was a grey falcon but presumably not a Grey
Falcon.
The bird was flying steadily to the NE pretty much towards the early
morning sun.
No undulation in level and with regular wing beats.
When I first observed it I was between it and the sun and it passed
overhead so i saw only the underside.
It appeared more or less all
light grey with some darker grey streaks running length wise.
Every couple
of seconds, as it flew it made a quiet single syllable noise approximated by
kwok;
not quite but almost the noise attached to
farm ducks in children's books.
My immediate reaction was " Grey
Falcon" but I have never seen one.
Any suggestions other than Brown Falcon, they seem to come in many colours
?
