I saw a White-breasted Sea Eagle briefly over
Hunters Hill at 2.30pm while moored in the Lane Cove River. It set a 20
odd flock of Sulphur Crested Cockatoos into a minor panic. It then went out of
sight south- west over the Hill.
At 4pm, I saw a pair of WBSE soaring over Balls
Head and Waverton Bay. It caused the resident pair of Waverton Bay's Spur Winged
Plovers to circle around calling the alarm which caused the gulls at the naval
base to respond which called out a pair of ravens to fly up to challenge the
eagles which caused them to break up. One fly west up the river and the over
flew back over Balls Head towards the city.
The eagles are so graceful in their apparent
effortless soaring. ls.
One of my sailing buddies reported that he saw a
pair of Sooty Oystercatchers at La Perouse on Thursday. A first for him and a
tick that still eludes me.
On Tuesday evening at about 5.15pm I saw a flock of
40-50 Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos fly over the Eastgardens Shopping Centre at
Pagewood.
Suburban birdwatching at its
best.
