This morning at Narrabundah Hill I was again swooped (just once) by the Sacred Kingfisher!  I had been watching it feeding a young bird when it flew straight at me.  I kept the binos on it (didn’t flinch!!) and it swerved away at the last moment.
 
Also up there was a Tawny Frogmouth, a number of Black Faced Cuckoo Shrikes (starting to gather) and a small group of Dusky Woodswallows.
