After an exciting report of a Black Falcon feeding cooperatively with
(or as one expert described it 'bullying') a Spotted Harrier an expedition was mounted on the 7th of July to see whether the episode could be repeated.
It wasn't but we did record 6 species of raptor in 2 hours which is pretty good going. The first was a female (by size) Australian Hobby which traveled along fence lines in front of us, eventually posing for a portrait.
Other raptors seen were Nankeen Kestrel (2); Black -shouldered Kite (2), Brown Falcon (3); Little Eagle and Spotted Harrier. Much effort was put into looking for the Black Falcon, but on the day it didn't oblige.
Of the other 24 species seen the most exciting was a flock of at least 8 Diamond Firetails.
