Remarkable Geoffrey, one of the few records I’,m aware of where it was not
rushing through calling or heard in the distance.
You imply it was rather silent, given that it was feeding and reluctant to
move, are we overlooking this species?

At 0800 flew over the car-park with an escort of N
Miners. Following the protest calls I located it in the top of a
leafy euc. After a few minutes it flew off, with attendants, but circled
as if reluctant to move anywhere in particular. From the buff tipping and
lack of eye/eye-patch colour I take this to be an immature bird. Looks
like someone’s prunus had a larger-than-usual visitor this morning.
