4 years ago, for safety reasons,  TAMs felled two tall trees (amongst others) in Corroboree Park that Hobbys had nested in (using ravens’ nests) for several previous years. I  then saw no Hobbys in the area for the  following 3 years.

This evening, in a near-by street, I watched a Hobby vigorously fend off some hassling  Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, and then settle into a (disused) raven’s nest, way up in a v. tall gum tree.  Future actions to be watched eagerly!
