Birdpedia – Australia – Weekly Digest

The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period Monday, May 4, 2015 to Sunday, May 10, 2015: Area: SA Location: On our Rockleigh property Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus) (1) This was only the second whistling kite we have seen at our place. It was cruising around taking little notice of the harassing magpie. A little later a brown falcon flew at high speed along the creekline with 3 magpies in hot pursuit. Third raptore was a wedge-tailed eagle, rapidly seen off our land by, guess what, a magpie. Why do raptores put up with it ? If wedgies retaliated and ate a few magpies, would that act as a deterrent ? Reported by: Barbara and Peter Bansemer on Monday, May 4, 2015 ——————————————— Need more information about a sighting?
