Great shot. Looks like it's in the middle of plucking its prey. Could you tell what the prey species was? Looks like a coot or a larger waterbird.

Hi Jackie and Steph, I note that the location of the sighting has been recorded as Angledale NSW. The coordinates that we included do NOT correspond with coordinates of the location, Angledale. Upon review, I searched the meta data from the photos. These coordinates are -36.865987 S 149.929688E and correspond with the 5th green on the Tura Beach Golf Course and are more accurate than the ones I submitted.

Hi Carine. I've had that trouble too. It might be a problem associated with the website update.
