Kestrels

[Mark Clayton <>]

On Monday this week I was out near Lake Cargelligo and most of the raptor species I saw were either catching or eating mice - Black-shouldered Kite, Spotted and Swamp Harriers, Whistling Kite, Brown Goshawks, Nankeen Kestrels and Brown Falcon. The only exception were a couple of Black Kites that just sat in the trees probably with a tummy full of mice. At "Chat Alley" both species of harriers and a Brown Falcon were also trying very hard to catch one of the many White-fronted Chats  that were present.

Mice probably. My photo of the raven eating one was there last week, and Deb Ralph had a photo of kookaburras eating mice in that area too on facebook last week.
