Sorry
for including that photo. I had no idea a prior attachment was forwarded. It is
not my photo (I don't have any bird photography equipment) but is one sent by
Roger Williams on 8-6-2011. I opened that message (and others) to see what
similar things had been reported before and plagiarised the typing for my
message and the photo unintentionally got included (though my view of the bird
today was similar though very brief).
About an hour ago from inside my
house I heard a ruckus from Pied Currawongs and Magpies and went out to see why.
Following the direction I came across a Collared Sparrowhawk holding a
still weakly struggling bird that looks rather large for it. As the Sparrowhawk saw me
approach it dropped the bird which was a Crested Pigeon which struggled along
with a thump crashing into the base of a house
wall.
