I noticed an article in a local paper about fires through Goonoo, so I am considering heading towards Goulburn River NP and then North, rather than through Mendooran. I’ve found conflicting advice . . . → Read More: RFI “Rock Warbler Spot”

(no subject)

I have just seen two Torresian Crows together mob the peak of a conifer, from which one swooped off with a live large-ish passerine, squawking pitifully. Perhaps an ill-stashed fledgling, though no bird chased them. I’d not noticed TCrows take live animals before ! Judith 500m SEQ

Peregrine Falcon question

A pair of Peregrine Falcons have resided on top of the 12 story Grand Hotel at Glenelg, an Adelaide seaside suburb, for many years. Since I have been living in the area (three years) I have seen one, most likely the male (based on size) most days. Occasionally, there are two.

Peregrine Falcon question

Do Peregrines catch stationary prey? or is stooping on pigeons in flight their MO? Could this be like small passerines nesting near raptors, this being a “safe zone” somehow…? Judith

Aaaah , Transparency is a wonderful thing.

We need more of it, like who, or what agency, makes the final decision on the Rio Development?

Red Goshawks caught and netted during nesting season
