Hi all,
Just trawling through some of my photos. I came
across one of a Peregrine Falcon that was flying over Cooleman Ridge NR on
Thursday. Clearly visible in the photo was a metal band on the right hand leg of
the bird (no detail discernible on the band though). Wasn't aware that people
were banding Peregrines locally?
On a different (but related note), I will be
leaving for Japan very soon, where I will be staying for the whole of 2010. I
will be aiming to learn Japanese whilst over there, but of course there will be
lots of birds over there. In particular, I would love to see Short-tailed
Albatross, Bonin Petrel, Steller's Sea-Eagle, Red-crowned Crane, Japanese
Paradise-Flycatcher etc. I will keep in touch with everyone back here, make sure
I keep a record of all the rare birds seen on my doorstep when I am gone :) In
return, I will post some of the more interesting birds that I see in Japan,
maybe once a month, just to entice some of you guys over there:)
So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to
everyone, best of luck for next year, lots of good birding to all of you.
Cheers
Tobias
