Not sure if it was Milburn’s bird(s)
but there were two Wedge-tailed Eagles extremely high over Canberra stadium around 1:30pm this
afternoon. When last seen one was a fair bit lower over Kaleen. Also the
Australian Ravens were indulging in a bit of what looked like an acrobatic
pairing-up display – it is not that long before they start breeding again

Unusual GBS obs
We live at the Turner end of Miller Street and this evening enjoyed a
run of unusual sightings. Firstly, a Wedge-tailed eagle was circling
quite low over the house. The weather looked promising for swifts so I
prepared dinner outside looking upwards as much as possible. Without
major injury I finally alerted the family to the presence of 8 White-throated
Needletails. Our al fresco
dining experience was enriched by the surprise appearance a male and female
Common Bronzewing. This is only the second record of this species in our
GBS.
