| Comment | A Little Eagle sighted diving for prey over South Rd, WTP, Werribee. Rabbits are their favourite food, and there were certainly many to be seen in this vicinity, scurrying this way and that along the road. It is probably no accident seeing one here at this time of year. HANZAB cites a s1988 banding study at Werribee that indicated the area attracts winter Little Eagle migrants, including adults and immatures, with birds arriving April and departing late August (https://hanzab.birdlife.org.au/species/little-eagle/). The photo illustrates its “characteristic wind-hanging hunting attitude: wings held slightly forward, alulae projecting, tail fanned; may drop in several stages in this posture; also make long nearly vertical stoops, with wings folded, talons stretched forward in final stage of attack” (ibid.). | ||||||||||||||||||
