Back to Rookwood – 2 January 2023

Valerie had invited both Sue and myself to lunch at her place, and as an after lunch activity, I suggested a visit to Rookwood Necropolis to see the juvenile Brown Goshawks.

It was a warm afternoon. and a lot of the birds at the Necropolis were not active. We eventual spotted one of the juvenile Brown Goshawks, but it did not give us many opportunities to observe it. I was lucky to get a few slight shots –

It perched in this tree, but only for short time –

It them moved to another pine tree. This one with a lot more vegetation. It was calling out, and we eventually spotted it.

And then it flew off again –

It landed in a good clear spot, but did not stay there long.

We could hear it calling again – from a distance. It seemed to be in another pine tree – with a lot of branches to hide in.

We think there was only one of the three juveniles that we saw.

One other bird – a White-plumed Honeyeater
