Halus 16,18Dec13

From Con

16Dec

This morning the weather was fine, I arrived before 9 am and stayed until Noon. Only 3 Black-winged Kites, and a pale morph CHE came any where within photography distance. No sparrowhawks seen.

18Dec

Today the sky was again blue, at least to start so I decided to give another try at Halus. Arriving at 9:30 am I stayed until just before Noon.

Only 1 sparrowhawk was seen, very high in the sky. This is already 100% crop. I make this out to be an adult male Japanese Sparrowhawk missing a finger due to moulting.


The only other raptors was 1 pale morph CHE and 2 juv Brahminy Kites.

By the way, large groups of photographers are still going after the Pied Cuckoo!
