Hi
Charles,
Great
action photo of the Hobbies. I am suspecting from the size difference, time of
year and rich red colour of the lower bird that this is a father dropping food
to a daughter. Unless the lower bird is a partner and they have chicks still in
a nest somewhere. Sorry but I think any attempt to ID the prey to species
level from that would be futile. From what shows of the foot, it looks like a
passerine. At a guess a small honeyeater, sparrow,
pipit.......

Hi guys, I
photographed this pair of hobby's exchanging food on my farm the other day
but cannot work out what the bird is that they were swapping over. My farm in
Cooma so pretty much all the same birds as the ACT. From what I can make out it
is a brown, white and maybe a little black in colour. The hobby carrying the
bird is the male and is a little smaller then the female. I am guessing he is
about the size of a Kestral and just a little smaller then a galah. The
photo has nearly been cropped to 100% so zooming in any more is not really an
option. Could be a grass bird.
