One certainly needs a very long day to good look
around the whole area at Werribee TP. Thanks to Paul Hackett's experienced
navigation and various BA lister's reports we located most of the
recently noted birds.
Highlight of the day was probably seeing Paul and
Rob (driver) duck as what they thought must have been a Peregrine fly at such an
incredible speed they didn't see it coming straight at us and just missing the
windscreen. It landed a good distance away and we debated peregrine/hobby.
Paul's digiscoping proved a winner again for confirming a Hobby when he was able
to enlarge the shot at home.
A Swampy with a coot firmly held in the talons kept
taking off with it's prey each time we drove level with it. Little did it know
we couldn't see it in the long grass until it took off each
time.
