Hello all,
No, nothing about new Australian bird species today, unfortunately.
There's been a bit of talk about grey falcons of late. I thought I'd
relate the story of my only meeting with one.
Dave, a non-birder mate of mine and I were at Fort Grey in Sturt NP,
NSW, in mid-2000. Early one morning we're chatting and having a cup of
coffee with his pet border collie and Dave says, "Mate, what's that bird
behind you up in the tree?" I've turned, looked, jumped out of my chair
and almost had a heart-attack, grabbing my bins and slowly pacing
towards the tree the falcon was in. I had a twenty second view of the
bird, then it took into the air and disappeared.
So, the moral of the story... always have a non-birding mate with you
when looking for a grey falcon.
