unknown raptor

This morning perched on the dead tree my end - size- about 40 cm; colour: very dark all over, nor specific head markings, front seemed rather mottled dark and light grey, type - I's say falcon; - I was about 50 meters or so away, not a long look, the bird was harassed by another small bird so flew off, glided liesurely pace down at tree-top height - maybe brown falcon?; none of the usual raptors sighted here. 9.00 am 28-2-2009

Fox cubs 7-2-09

Two fox cubs and adult out playing in open area my end of FOM 6.30 am this morning I saw them before they saw me so a brief time to observe them unobserved. Lots of rabbits in this area for them.

Today Friday 6-2-09

Lots of spotted pardalottes near my end. Eastern Robin close to me around the path. Grey Thrike-thrush in distance. Lots of lorikeet activity over the last week or so - maybe because of blossoms on tree tops. Very dry- paths covered in dead leaves. Dollarbird chasing mudlark - dollarbirds very active lately - four of five of them. Had a good look at a white browed scrubwren today in mangrove shoots - mostly only fleeting glimpses but this was good. otherwise all the usual - a few people walking their dogs in FOM.
