Dear All,
             Over the last couple of weeks I have been forced to rest in my cot (They never told me not to run down Mountains).......When you look out over the Ainslie-Majura Park it is surprising what you see...almost every day a pair of dark Wedgies for instance,more rarely Little Falcons and on Monday last a Brown GosHawk,my first for a long while....But I would like to pose a question.....Some evenings when a breeze blows from the West,the sky is filled with mainly Currawongs,Magpies and Dollar Birds hawking for insects....even using a powerful telescope I was unable to identify the prey,without guessing can anyone tell me what the prey is?
