Observation details
Continuing bird. Flew in from the north and, after receiving some attention from a BRFA and an AUMA, flew over the nearby dam and continued on without perching on its customary power pole. I located the bird on one of the small, dead trees out in the middle of the paddock adjacent to the dam, hunting from its perch. It then began hover hunting, before it disappeared behind the dam. It reappeared a few minutes later with a catch, flying over before landing on the nearby irrigation arm to consume its prey (a mouse).
