Plenty of small birds up there this morning, Superb
Wrens, Weebills, Pardalotes, Silvereyes, a single Dusky Woodswallow. The
real highlight was a pair of Wedgetailed Eagles perched in a dead tree.
They were swooped by a Nankeen Kestrel several times before the
Kestrel landed cheekily on another branch just in front of them. When
the big birds took flight the Kestrel swooped again and was instantly joined
by four Magpies and two Ravens harassing the big fellas on their way
towards the Brindabellas. The Kestrel returned to the tree & was
joined by another - a brief but intimate encounter then took place.
The two separated and life in the dead tree returned to normal.
Cheers
