Sightings
One or two tentative sightings at our former place, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales in 2005, then not seen for a long time. Returned in early 2006, hunting pigeons above the paddocks using dead old trees as perches. Then seen in September of 2006 20 km south-west of Narrabri.
Another sighting in February 2008 20 km east of Narrabri.
