Friday Feathered Friend
A bonus Friday Feathered Friend from Louise Thomas, who lives in central Lower Hutt.
"A falcon has taken to skulking in the oak tree outside my office. She is a little nefarious, watching the sparrows and rock pigeons (falcon fodder) in the park and on my front lawn until the tui call her out by screeching at her. A shady character, but I love her. Here she is trying to sell me a used watch. New Zealand falcon/kārearea (Falco novaeseelandiae), immature female, Woburn, Lower Hutt. I assume this must be the offspring of the more mature female who sometimes does the rounds around here as well."
