Yes of course there is something about both these species
in The GBS Report but nothing about a juxtaposition about them, or mention
of predation. At the time I wrote it, the occurrence of the RL here was very
confusing, still is a bit (so they are quite opposite). There was a good reason
the Hobby is on the cover and not just because I had my painting to put there. I
saw a Hobby at Tuggeranong yesterday near the sports centre. This is the best
month, as with White-throated Needletail which I am still waiting to see for
this summer. None so far for me, though I did see thousands of swiftlets last
month (in Philippines - large flocks almost every day)

Also at Rocky Knob this morning,
a hunting hobby, possibly attracted by the lorikeets. These are
occasionally seen in the suburbs. I wonder if there is anything about that
in The GBS Report …
