The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period
Monday, April 18, 2016 to Sunday, April 24, 2016:
Area: SA
Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2016
Location: Corner Westminster St & first Ave, St Peters
Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis) (1) While walking home, a block from very
busy Payneham Road in the rush hour, a bird carrying another in its claws flew
close to the ground and dropped its victim on the footpath. The victim was a
very young fluffy wattlebird without enough markings to show whether it was a
little wattlebird or a red wattlebird. It had a puncture wound in the side of
its head. I rolled it over but it was almost dead. Looking up, there was a
hobby on the powerlines 5 metres above me, looking intently at me. I walked on
while the hobby continued looking at me. Later in the evening the victim had
vanished, presumably as dinner.

there last Saturday. Photos attached.
