We were having lunch at our home in the eastern
suburbs of Melbourne, on Good Friday, when a spotted Turtle Dove flew into the
window and lay inert on the path. Almost immediately a raptor flew across the
garden and landed on our rotary clothesline in full view, about 20 metres
away.From its size it was an immature female Collared Sparrowhawk, obligingly
lifting its very long middle toe up and down to remind me not to overlook it.It
stayed 5 minutes and flew off. I couldn't believe my luck.
