Having seen 2 Buff-banded Rails at the small dam near the Narrows Car Park yesterday I decided to drive down to see if they were having an early snack on the 3rd. (I also wondered if a Nankeen Night Heron or 5 might be there before the fisherhordes arrived.
No fisher people nor Rail nor Night Heron. However I did hear a whingey noise coming from the big dead tree in the paddock. On checking there were three Wedge-tailed Eagles up there, about 200m from the fence.
I think from the overall dark plumage this is the adult of the family. It certainly behaved the most independently of the three.
