Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] [Birding-Aus] Possible Short-toed Eagle
Hi there
My library tells me that Short-toed Eagles (/Circaetus gallicus/)
migrate as far south as Timor, so Australia is not much of a stretch
(certainly not 8,500km out of range!) - though getting as far south as
Geelong is a bit unexpected.
I recall being in a convoy of birders that included Margaret Cameron and
other notables, somewhere out in Victoria's Western District /circa/
1979-1980 - the consensus of the birders who had some experience outside
Australia then was that the odd raptor we saw that day was a Short-toed
Eagle.
I'd love for some people to see the bird and confirm the ID ...
