Hi All,
On a recent trip up the Strzelecki Track I had my best ever
view of a black falcon. A friend and I were photographing pools of water
on the gibbers when a small bird ran across in front of us and into a
bush. My first thought was gibber chat but of course the binos were in the
car! Just then we heard a loud whistling sound and a black falcon stooped
over our heads, into the bush, and without stopping spiralled up into the sky,
and disappeared, leaving us staring in disbelief. It's speed was amazing
and we never did find out what the small bird was - there was not even a feather
to be seen.
