Sorry, could get only one shot at a poor angle through the waving grasses.

Yes - it is an awkward angle. But fortunately in this case, given the unique colour patterning of the tail tip, there is enough to be confident that this is an Inland Hunter. And yet another early record. My earliest previous record for this species in Canberra was 22 Nov (2016).
