User's notes

Shortly after I took this photo one of the pair made a successful kill. I didn't manage to ID the prey. Interestingly the Currawongs on Red Hill seem to particularly loathe the Hobbies, while the Magpies in contrast are generally fairly tolerant. There were about 5-7 Currawongs in the tree watching this pair of Hobbies.
