I'm not entirely familiar with the various raptors
so I'm not 100% sure of this observation, but I feel I recognised a Little
falcon. Driving my sons home from school in Adelaide I saw what appeared to be a
little falcon on someones front lawn with a fresh kill, a blackbird or starling.
Black feathers sprawled about, I stopped the vehicle to watch and the bird
took off with its prey hanging from its talons.
The falcon was small and very uniformly coloured,
sort of a plum sheen all over, most definitely a falcon.
First I have ever witnessed of this
event.,..very cool.
Cheers
Mark
