Long-winged Conehead – 29th October

October 29, 2013Recent wildlife sightingsLittle Egret, Long-winged Conehead, river, SparrowhawkPete Smith

A quiet afternoon at the lagoons. There were three Little Egrets, and a female Sparrowhawk, but no unusual birds about. A surprise was seeing several Long-winged Coneheads still active, on the sunny fence-posts near the river. One female was caught in the act of egg-laying.  PS.
