I saw an Azure Kingfisher at about 7:45 today in the Aranda
Bushland not far from Caswell Drive/GDE.
For over half an hour from about 8:30, in the paddock south of Aranda
Bushland, Mary Gorman and I watched an Australian Hobby near a nest
containing at least one large young Hobby looking about. The adult
repeatedly chased off Sulpher-crested Cockatoos which kept returning to
the very tall nest tree.
This was the same tree and nest we mentioned in what we now regard as a
mistaken report of Peregrin Falcons on 20 November 2011. We had excellent
views today: the adult's rufous breast was very evident.
