User's notes
On hearing alarm calls by Masked Lapwings, Galahs and Ravens, and seeing swooping of something on the ground behind a log, I walked down to investigate. A Brown Falcon flew up, pursued by the other birds. I got two quick photos as posted, and a photo of the prey bird by the log which was a young Masked Lapwing, now partly plucked and without head, as posted.
