Around 8.30 this morning there were several hundred starlings on
powerlines crossing Molongolo Reach and into Jerrabomberra Wetlands. A
few minutes later many were flocking high over the wetlands in response
to the appearance of a raptor..(falcon?) and formed a mobbing swarm.
Attached poor snap (v. long distance, poor overcast light) gives an
impression of the interesting encounter. The mobbing lasted several
minutes and ended with the disappearance of the raptor. ..
