Any suggestions on the prey ID, I'm not quite sure? Launched its successful attack and very quickly began to pluck and eat its prey. A Currawong came and showed interest so the Hobby relocated to a tree 100 metres away. By the time I got there it seemed to have finished its meal and it flew off.

Striated Pardalote, seems like a young one. I have seen them feeding on Silvereyes before.
