the rugby last Saturday week, at half time there were two raptors hawking for
large insects in the lights very high. It was well after dark. They looked like
Kestrels but I am not good at the differences in these size raptors and they
were quite high. I looked pretty strange looking directly up with my Bins
at the footy. But at least it was half time. Has anyone else seen
this. I have seen it with owls in street lights but not with
raptors.”

I was there too – they were Hobbies. I’ve seen them several times over the
last few years (presuming they’re the same ones). Training the bins skyward was
a welcome relief to what was happening on the ground!
