Sad news I think....thought I saw a road kill Little Eagle on the Barton at the nth bound overtaking lane up the hill near Vallencia Estate. I've seen them irregularly over the years here presumably hunting rabbits along the creek line. Would've stopped but I was late for the footy @ Manuka.
 
Bluddy good news - A pair at my place Sunday afternoon (Yass River) - one gliding down the gully and passed about 10ft over my head! Definitely the closest I've ever been to one. I think I actually called them in because I was whistling for foxes. Of which, after the weekend, there are 3 less now to prey on the firetails, treecreepers, robins etc :-) I've also been getting Diamond Firetail responses to the whistle! I've never seen Little Eagles in this area and always wondered why, the previously mentioned ones being the closest.
