Oh Joy! Oh Raptor!

Bob and I saw this Eagley type bird in our garden. We think it is a young Lanner Falcon. Any others offers if we're not right?

The bird life here is better than in Claremont. If it weren't for a very territorial Butcher Bird, I'm sure it would be even better. We have the usual assortment of starlings, pigeons,doves, sunbirds and bulbuls. But we also have mousebirds, who are masters in amusing crash landings.

My bird feeders are being ignored like Stop Signs, as there is plenty of food in the golf course over the road. However there are often queues for the birdbath - winter is dry season here. It's rained only once in the three weeks since I arrived.
