I can't remember the exact date, but around 3.30pm on an early autumn
afternoon,
while about to collect a young lad from prep at St Kilda Primary, there was
a collared sparrowhawk
circling the traffic over the intersection of Brighton Rd and Carlisle St in
St Kilda.
It was only about double telephone line height, with size and particularly
square tail unmistakeable.
"Hmmm", I thought, "goes down as one of the top 5 red lights I reckon".
What with currawongs and hobbies about, the little stuff'd better watch out,
eh?

Hi All,
A Collared Sparrowhawk was seen at 12.15pm today flying into trees at the
corner of Wellington and Perry Streets Collingwood. An unexpected inner
urban sighting whilst driving.
