Mention by Steve Wallace of Spotted Harrier earlier today reminds me that
David Landon and I saw one quartering over the paddocks between Wells Station
Road and Federal Highway last Friday morning. We were in a v-e-r-y slow car
queue to reach parking for the Canberra Show, so had plenty of time to look at
the bird. We had great views of it, V-wings, lovely rusty underwings (and of
course no white rump), and it was a welcome diversion for our three-year-old
passengers, who were getting somewhat restless at the delay in getting to see
the “little animals” at the show.
