A juvenile Wedgetailed Eagle patrolled along Whiskers Creek Road yesterday at about 100m altitude (a very rough guess by me). It was greeted by a pair of very antsy Masked Lapwings - I was surprised to see them go so high- and eventually escorted from the vicinity by Australian Raven and Australian Magpies. A skein - I can't call it anything else, it was so reminiscent of the flocks of Canada Geese in North America - of 26 Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos went to great efforts to avoid overflying my GBS site this morning. The most surprising eent was flushing a Brown Quail from the flotsam-enhanced banks of the Queanbeyan River in beautiful down-town Karabar at lunchtime today. While the River is well below flood level it still has plenty of water coming down it! Martin |
