2017 December 3 - Raptor watch from the kitchen

Sunday, 3 December 2017, 08:55-08:58 am.

A big bird is perched on the roof. Brownish wings, whitish front.

The bird glides down to a bottle-brush tree, partially hidden.
Seems like the branch is not able to support its weight; the bird adjusts position a few times.

It flies across the carpark to another bottle-brush tree on the left.

Moments later, the bird flies back to the first tree, adjusts itself and perches in the open.
Greyish head and lighter grey above the eyes; eyes dull red; brown to dark chocolate on nape; brownish streaks on throat and chest.

Flies right over the block.
White feathers on thighs; yellow tarsus; black band on tail tip; another black band on tail near the legs.

小蠋的故事

这故事发生在朋友家。照片和视频由HM提供。

20171010 发现一只大虫在啃食家里种的酸甘叶。 
之前有叶子被咬过的痕迹,但没找到元凶。相信是这家伙干的好事。

20171011 很努力的在进食。

吃饱就靠在枝下休息。

20171012 又发现一只小虫。

20171013 叶子都被吃光了。两只虫子都不见了。

20171014 大的出走了,小的再出现。
家里没酸甘叶子给它吃,只好到朋友家去拿一些回来。
但是回来时,它又不见了。

20171015 小的再出现。样子比较像大的,但颜色较   

吃得慢,且不多。
 

它的排泄物。

 20171016 食欲不佳。挑食吗?

20171017 颜色深了,整天待在枝下。

没吃很多,排泄物却不少。

20171018 晚上睡觉前去看一下,它又不见了。


20171019 原来躲在胡姬花里。


20171020 在进化中。


20171026 漫长的等待。


20171029 耐心的期待换来不告而别。
