User's notes
I was slow to react to this bird as I thought it was the goshawk flying back. I believe this is an Australian Hobby flying northwards up the valley. The dark around the eyes and the banding on the underside of the wing are what I am using to identify it but happy to be corrected. Apologies as the photos are not great and may need to be zoomed.
