the bird was being harassed by many cockatoos which kept up for a long distance (out of sight)
Came out of the Nature Reserve Mulligans Flat over large dam. Known Hobby area.?? Maybe Early morning low light sorry for quality.
5/5/19 Another long distance sighting today (PIC 4) Same area similar profile.
