Found Him
Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis)
I haven't seen any Hobbies around since our lock down was eased. So on the way back from the VU pond today I detoured via the pumping station - mainly because I had noticed one of the Kestrels heading in that direction. I didn't find any Kestrels but just as I was about to put the camera away and head for home I heard the call of this Hobby. Sitting high in a gum tree on the fence line. I think it is one of the patriarchs of the ever expanding clan.
The Grebes are still sitting on the nest.
