Southern Boobook (Ninox boobook) (1) A boobook is calling from somewhere near
the top of a large gum tree in our backyard. It is calling so loudly we heard
it over the sound of the radio. Unfortunately the tree is so tall and leafy
that we can't see it. We heard it a couple of weeks ago, but much more
distantly, so knew it was back in our area.

Black Falcon (Falco subniger) (1) One Falcon diving on a flock of around 200
Feral Pigeons. The Falcon split a single bird out of the flock and then ran it
down striking it a metre off the ground in the vacant paddock north of the
Nursery. The whole time a pair of Galahs were chasing and mobbing the Falcon!
