Saw a Little Eagle soaring above the Westgate Freeway near the
Williamstown exit yesterday 11/04/99. For those who don't know
Melbourne, this is an industrial area about 7km (as the raptor flies) from
the CBD. This is the first little eagle I've seen so close to the city
limits however I oftern seen kestrels and have recorded kestrels, peregrines and
black-chouldered kites at nearby Westgate Park.
Euan Moore.
For the geographically challenged, Melbourne is a city about
1:15hrs flying time (Boeing 747)south east of Sydney.
