Flushed from the dam at the end of Kathner St Chapman. An immature
with a black cap but still streaked etc plumage. It landed on an open
perch allowing good views for several minutes before it flew off over the
Chapman horse paddocks, an Australian Raven in pursuit.
This is the first time I’ve recorded this species in the local area in over
35 years of living here. This seems to be indicative of the relative
abundance of this species over the past 6 months or so, I’ve always found it to
be relatively thinly spread in the COG area of interest.
