Date: Monday, October 10, 2016
Location: In Casuarinas on the southern side of the Joyce Snadden Reserve at
the end of The Minories, Port Adelaide. This reserve borders the Port River.
Collared Sparrowhawk (Accipiter cirrocephalus) (1) I regularly visit several
small parks in the Pt Adelaide area and was looking among some Casuarinas for
breeding activity when I heard several White-plumed Honeyeaters, Red
Wattlebirds & Noisy Miners making a big fuss. I thought there might be a nest
in the vicinity but, on closer examination, found a Collared Sparrowhawk
perched in one of the trees. The other birds were trying to drive it away but
it merely moved from tree to tree.

Location: Flinders Park
Rainbow Bee-eater (Merops ornatus) (3) Three birds stopping briefly in a
flowering apple tree then moving north. Was alerted to their presence by their
calling. On flying north they seemed to mingle with Welcome Swallows. Last seen
near Grange Road about 200 m east of Findon Road.
