Driving home from work yesterday, and stopped at the traffic
lights at a small suburban shopping centre in Moorooka, a few
k's from Brisbane, we watched a Collared SPARROWhawk flash into
a line of recently planted trees (3-4 m tall) outside the
bakery and then emerge with a HOUSE SPARROW in its talons.

Its the first time I've ever seen a SPARROWhawk actually take a
SPARROW.

Cheers

Peter
