Wed 13 Aug King Quail, Peregrine Falcon Golds Scrub Lane, Samsonvale
One male-female pair of King Quail in the margins of the woodland by
the cemetery, near the paddock gate. Birds were foraging in the tall
grass, only briefly wandering into view; an attempt to stake them out
for 5-10 mins was unsuccessful. Also seen was a Peregrine Falcon,
flying high at first, then making a low pass over the cemetery. Also
notable, a resident pair of Whistling Kites are nesting in the crown of
a pine tree on the water's edge, to the left of the cemetery. All
sightings made around 11:30am.
