We went to Stromlo Forest Park about 3.00pm . We stopped soon after
the entrance where there is a gate on the LHS through which you can
easily climb (where Jack took us when we were out hoping to find
raptors). and where white fronted chats are usually seen. We found
no white fronted chats today. However we flushed 5 brown quail, not
seen here before, I think.
Also there was a kestrel, hovering, them moving on. Then we saw it
sitting on the yellow pole on the top of the small green hill, eating
something small. A mouse? The magpies were very interested and they
harassed the kestrel which then flew away with the magpies chasing
for a short distance.
