Oz Hobby

[Andy Burton's Bush Tours <>]

Further to my message re the Square-tailed Kite in Sydney on Tuesday another uncommon Sydney raptor has made a brief appearance.

I saw an Australian Hobby scythe rapidly overhead, almost at roof height, in suburban North Ryde,

33°  47.70´   151°  07.37´, yesterday afternoon.

Since 1995 I have had thirteen sightings of this species in the greater Sydney (Cumberland) area, nine of which have been in the outer western areas. Only three of these sightings have been in "inner" Sydney suburbs. These were Homebush, Strathfield and North Ryde and all seen this year.
