Collared Sparrowhawk at Balyang

April 6, 2018 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

Seth, mum and I went down to Balyang to look for bugs. As soon as we got there we heard this unusual call. I can’t describe it but I hadn’t heard anything like it before. It was high up in the tree and the light was fading. Oh no! I recorded the calls just in case I needed them for later.

Seth and I circled the tree a couple more times. I was lucky enough to get the two shots I’ve shared below. Obviously, they have been edited.

At the time, three young collard sparrowhawks were still hanging around the area so I didn’t want to post about it. I do miss living in the area. It’s still fun to get these little surprises when I visit.
