This morning...

While riding to work today, a bird flew right in front of me/past me on my bike. I thought from the flash of orangish/brownish it was simply a wattlebird being territorial over a smaller bird (a wren? honey eater?) But when I glanced over to have a better look - it was a small raptor of some sort, and just caught the smaller bird mid-flight!

Little Falcon is an older name, the correct name nowdays is Australian Hobby - until the taxonomists decide to change it again.
