I've seen a little eagle at Fyshwick SP sitting in the large willow just beyond first 4 ponds, drying and preening - suspect it had been bathing in one of the sewage ponds. It was definitely wet all over

Walking on the cyclepath along the western edge of Lake Ginninderra this morning, we went to investigate a loud hullabaloo from a wagtail, a magpie lark and a honeyeater in a willow overhanging the lake. About 3 m above the water on a branch of the willow was what I think was a Collared Sparrowhawk which appeared to be drying and preening its feathers as if it had just bathed. Would a Sparrowhawk bathe at the edge of large body of water like LG?
