PeverilPeril 3,290 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 For the past 3 days we have seen a hawk striding across the garden. It flew up into a tree this morning and I got the bino's onto it. I'm guessing that it is collecting nesting material. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 A pair of chicken hawks teaching their young in flight, how to ambush and attack other birds, saw this the other day, quite gruesome really. The parent attacked first but let the unfortunate to escape, slightly injured so the young bird could finish it off. We are currently looking after a 5 acre property with heaps of wildlife and roo's etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie 1,392 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I saw a baby Magpie today, first time I have ever seen one, gosh he was so small, must have just flown the nest and he seemed quite tame too, I hope he will be alright on his/her own..........it's a wicked world out there.....I will be leaving crumbs.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
