Hello everyone. I had a strange experience yesterday. Sitting in my office
at home, on the edge of dense eucalypt forest (rainforest understorey) I
was astonished to see an adult Spotted Harrier fly past the window into the
trees. It dodged gracefully amongst the trunks before making a circuit back
to the house and perching on a nearby branch for 5 minutes (I have some
nice photos). Has anyone had any experience of a harrier in the forest? I
have seen Wedge-tailed Eagles performing the same feat. Cheers, Richard
