Hi
Rod,
What
you describe appears to be quite typical of WtE display flight. Especially with
a second bird around to watch. More so if the lower bird was doing those dives
and then rising again and repeating it like a free form something ride- sorry
forgotten what it is called, undulating joy ride on little carriage, like at
Luna park.

There were at least two P C on the Kingston side,
and possibly three, last Sunday when I paddled up Jerrabomberra Ck. Also
the first I've seen for a while.
On another note I saw two Wedgies circling above
the green re-cycling site at Mugga Lane yesterday. While one rode the
thermals higher and higher, the other was being playful - gaining a bit of
height then hunching its shoulders and diving vertically at speed like I have
seen a Peregrine Falcon do. Why? Just 'cause it can I suppose, and
'cause it's fun!
Cheers
Rod
