Flesh Eaters Hovering Over GBR

Michael from Trentham

Amazingly enough a few days ago a falcon was hovering over Grant's Bush Reserve looking for prey and within 30 seconds of his/her departure, a hawk came swooping around.
I can recall a few years ago talk of Upper Hutt people never having spotted a falcon or a hawk in close proximity to the CBD. Grant's reserve is probably less than a minute away for a falcon to fly to the CBD.
Right now as this is written, a hawk is flying near the top of the trees in the forest of the reserve.
These majestic birds are terrorising the forest residents and one resident was screeching like crazy a few minutes ago.
