Keep Your Eyes On The Road.......If You Can!
One of the highlights of driving round at this time of year (if you're a birder) is the large number of birds that hunt from perches in the open, often power lines. On Tuesday a drive round the Cambridge/Sorell area, produced about 10 sightings of Brown Falcons, and I took the accompanying images of one of them, as it launched itself in pursuit of some Goldfinches--it was unsuccessful. Actually, the most common powerline "sitter" at the moment, is undoubtedly the Kookaburra. I counted at least two dozen, mostly loosely grouped in 2s and 3s. I didn't attempt to photograph them, maybe another day.

We also commented on our last day out about the number of Kookaburras hunting from the powerlines. Didn't count them, but I'd guess in the vicinity of 2 dozen or more. (Great shots of the falcons, by the way!)
