There is one less Mynah in the vicinity of Corroboree Park this morning after this encounter with what I take to be a Collared Sparrowhawk (?). Walking back from the Park towards Toms Crescent I heard a lot of alarm calls and the hawk suddenly flew off the nature strip carrying the struggling Mynah- it flew about 30 metres into a garden, watched me watching it for about 5 minutes, and then flew off carrying the no longer struggling Mynah.
What was it the Duke of Wellington said about sparrow pests in the Crystal Palace?
