Mid-afternoon on a locally cool, overcast 30 June, driving 110k/h
inbound on the Gateway, approaching the Bicentennial exit (a k or two
to go, & heavy traffic both sides), I saw, perched 30-or-so feet
above on a lamppost, the following bird:
- raptor
- front view from below, brief and rapidly magnifying
- medium to large
- classic 'guide book' posture/position
- largely slate-grey
- long tail, ventrally barred
- chestnut breast/belly
- belly barred--
And then it was gone!
WHAT could have sat just so in this place?
