raptors in the suburbs

[Ian Fraser <>]

Both Brown Goshawks and Collared Sparrowhawks are regularly recorded
throughout suburban Canberra; indeed in winter, nearly all ACT records are
suburban. We live within 1k of the city centre, and have already recorded
both species this year (plus a Little Eagle). 

Part of Black Mountain (nature reserve just down the road a bit) was
signposted by the parks service last spring to warn joggers about an
especially aggressive nesting BGH!

Cheers,

Ian
