User's notes
I saw two fly in towards the dead tree and were set upon by galahs, magpies, currawongs, mudlarks, and eventually ravens to see the sun. I moved to a better position and got these photos. At one point one of the birds was so harrassed it took shelter just over my head in the trees! However a little later on one bird of this colouring spent a great effort hunting out magpies and ravens. Very un-sparrowhawk like - but it did have that other bird with it.
